Find the number of permutations in the word circus.

If we are asked for the permutations of the word, we are actually to identify the number of ways we can arrange the letters in the word.

From the given, we have circus. It has 6 letters with c being repeated twice. The value for the permutation (P) is,

P = 6! / 2! = 360

Thus, the permutation of the word circus is 360.
