We are required to form different words with the help of letters of the word INTEGER. Let m1 be the number of words in which I and N are never together and m2 be the number of words which begin with I and end with R, then what is the value of m2/m1?

A.18
B.24
C.30
D.36
E.40

The OA is C.

I'm really confused with this PS question. Experts, any suggestion? Thanks in advance.

Please double check that the question is indeed asking for m2/m1 and not in fact m1/m2
