Question
How many strings are there using the letters of the word INTERMEDIATE, if all the vowels are together
Advertisements
Solution
All the vowels are together.
Take all the vowels as 1 unit.
Remaining consonants = 6
Total number of units for arrangement = 7
Number of arrangements = `(7!)/(2!)`
(Since in the consonant’s T’ s repeated twice)
= `(1 xx 2 xx 3 xx 4 xx 5 xx 6 xx 7)/(1 xx 2)`
= 2520
Among the vowels, the number of arrangements
= `(6!)/(2! xx 3!)`
= `(1 xx 2 xx 3 xx 4 xx 5xx 6)/(1 xx 2 xx 1 xx 2 xx 3)`
= 60
∴ Total number of arrangements = 2520 × 60
= 151200
