1. there are total 7 letters, letter I is two times..
after putting the I on first place we have remaining 6 letters i.e SMILAR
total no. of ways to arrange 6 letters = 6! = 720


2.
here 3 vowels, i.e I, O and E . after putting vowel of first place we have remaining 11 letters..
when I on first place , number of ways = 11!/( 2! * 2! * 2!) = 4989600
when O on first place, number of ways = 11! / ( 2! * 2!) = 9979200
when E on first place, number of ways = 11!/( 2! * 2! * 2!) = 4989600

total no. of ways = 19958400
