when A is the middle letter
then we have remaining 4 A's and 6 B's

now to have a palindrome

we shall have 2 A's and 3 A's before the middle letter and after that

(eg. AABBBABBBAA)

SO NO. OF WAYS = 5! / 2!3! = 10

B in middle is not possible

hw i counted one extra :P !!

@Tush... Iska kya matlab hai -"No .of ways in which A and B do not come together" ?

@taran... am still thinking over wat u did, will take some time :P , don't explain but let me get it...

Fr others-
Two imp. keypoints b4 starting -

1) Beginning & End letter should be the same.
2) But the Middle letter will always be "A" irrespective of whether the word begins with A or B !!

Then its easy....

Yeah avinav, answer's okay, but how did u make use of combinations?

n taran i got it, was getting confused with - "we shall have 2 A's and 3 A's .."-
instead of 2 A's n 3 B's.... small typo there...

A has to be at the 6th posn in al cases.....to make the words symmetrical.....so on 1 side there r 5 digits.... 2 As and 3 bs..=5!3!2!=5C2=10
