Solution
We note that, there are 3 consonants M, C, T and 3 vowels E, A, O.
Since, no two vowels have to be together, the possible choice for volwels are the blank spaces
These vowels can be arranged in 4P3 ways.
3 consonants can be arranged in 3! ways.
Hence, the required numbers of ways = 3! × 4P3 = 144 ways.
