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
