Tanya prepared four different letters to be sent to four different addresses. For each letter, she prepared an envelope with its correct address. If the 4 letters are to be put into the envelopes at random, what is the probability that only one letter will be put into the envelope with its correct address?

This is GMAT PREP question. What is the best approach to solve this.
