Question
How many permutations can be formed by the letters of the word, 'VOWELS', when
all vowels come together?
Advertisements
Solution
The word VOWELS consists of 2 vowels.
If we keep all the vowels together, we have to consider them as a single entity.
Now, we are left with the 4 consonants and all the vowels that are taken together as a single entity.
This gives us a total of 5 entities that can be arranged in 5! ways.
It is also to be considered that the 2 vowels can be arranged in 2! ways amongst themselves.
