@Savitri and @Divya.
Don't go that method because you'll get big confusion in solving big problems.

EYE
It contains 3 letters i.e 3!
Now take reapeted letters i.e E(2times repeated)=2!,
EYE = 3!/2!,
= 3 * 2 * 1/2 * 1,
= 3.

LEADER
It contains 6 letters i.e=6!
Now take repeated letters i.e E(2 times), so it can be divide by 6!
i.e LEADER =6!/2!.
= 6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1/2 * 1
= 360
So,360 is correct answer.

Take the example of the word EYE:
It can be arranged in 3 ways only , namely EYE , EEY, YEE as the letter E is repeated twice.
So the answer is not 3! but 3!/2!.
Applying the same for LEADER, we have the answer 6!/2!.
