The number of new words that can be formed by rearranging the letters of the word 'ALIVE' is -.

  • A.24
  • B.23
  • C.119
  • D.120

Answer: C

ALIVE has five distinct letters.

\[ 5! = 120 \text{ arrangements in all} \]

One of those is the original word itself, which is not new:

\[ 120 - 1 = 119 \]

The 120 on offer is the total count and 24 is \( 4! \) - both a step away from what is asked.
