There are $3$ pairs of identical letters $(M, A, T)$ and $5$ distinct letters $(H, E, I, C, S)$.Case $I$: Two letters of one kind and two of another kind.Number of ways $= ^3C_2 	imes \frac{4!}{2!2!} = 3 	imes 6 = 18$.Case $II$: Two letters of one kind and two distinct letters.Number of ways $= ^3C_1 	imes ^7C_2 	imes \frac{4!}{2!} = 3 	imes 21 	imes 12 = 756$.Case $III$: All four letters are distinct.Number of ways $= ^8C_4 	imes 4! = 70 	imes 24 = 1680$.Total number of arrangements $= 18 + 756 + 1680 = 2454$.
