We need to find the rank of the word "UDAYPUR" out of all the words formed by arranging the above letters.
Number of words formed with first letter as A$$=\dfrac{6!}{2!}$$ (because all the 6 letters can be arranged in 6! ways and there are 2 U's, so dividing by 2!)
Number of words formed with first letter as D$$=\dfrac{6!}{2!}$$ (because all the 6 letters can be arranged in 6! ways and there are 2 U's, so dividing by 2!)
Number of words formed with first letter as P$$=\dfrac{6!}{2!}$$ (because all the 6 letters can be arranged in 6! ways and there are 2 U's, so dividing by 2!)
Number of words formed with first letter as P$$=\dfrac{6!}{2!}$$ (because all the 6 letters can be arranged in 6! ways and there are 2 U's, so dividing by 2!)
Number of words formed with first two letters as UA $$=5!$$ (because all the 5 letters left can be arranged in 5! ways)
Number of words formed with first four letters as UDAP $$=3!$$ (because all the 3 letters left can be arranged in 3! ways)
Number of words formed with first four letters as UDAR $$=3!$$ (because all the 3 letters left can be arranged in 3! ways)
Number of words formed with first four letters as UDAU $$=3!$$ (because all the 3 letters left can be arranged in 3! ways)

All the above words precede the word "UDAYPUR" when arranged in a dictionary, and to get the rank, we need to add all the above values and 1 to it, since it is the next word.
The next word formed is "UDAYPUR", and the rank of it can be calculated as,
Rank $$=\dfrac{6!}{2!}+\dfrac{6!}{2!}+\dfrac{6!}{2!}+\dfrac{6!}{2!}+5!+3!+3!+3!+1+1=360\times\ 4+120+6\times\ 3+2=1580$$
So, the rank of the word is 1580.
Hence, the correct answer is option A.
