    E 1/42 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The letters of the word MISCHIEF can be arranged among themselves in
    8!/2! ways.
    If ICE is taken together, (ICE) (M) (S) (H) (I) (F)
    The number of arrangements that can be made
    = 6!/2!
    тИ┤ Required probability = (6!/2!)/(8!/2!) = 1/56
