Answer:

69,300 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

mathematics texts, = 2

Physics texts = 3

Computer science tests = 4

Psychology texts = 2

The total number of books

= 2+3+4+2

= 11

Next we have to calculate the number of ways that these books can be placed back on this shelf.

11!/2!3!4!2!

11! = 39916800

2! = 2

3! = 6

4! = 24

2! = 2

39916800/2*6*24*2

= 39916800/576

= 69300 ways

He can replace the texts in 69300 ways.
