Solution

The word "EXAMINATION" has 11 letters in total. However, the letters 'A' and 'I' are repeated twice.

To find the number of different words that can be formed, we use the formula for permutations of a multiset: n! / (r1! * r2! * ... * rk!), where n is the total number of items, and r1, r2, ..., rk are the numbers of each type of item.

In this case, n = 11 (the total number of letters), r1 = 2 (the number of 'A's), and r2 = 2 (the number of 'I's).

So, the number of different words that can be formed is 11! / (2! * 2!) = 10811.

Therefore, the correct option is "10811! / (2! X2! X2!)".
