Solution

There are 4 vowels and 4 consonants in the word INVOLUTE.
Out of these, 3 vowels and 2 consonants can be chosen in \[\left( {}^4 C_3 \times^4 C_2 \right)\]  ways.

The 5 letters that have been selected can be arranged in 5! ways.
∴ Required number of words =\[\left( {}^4 C_3 \times {}^4 C_2 \right) \times 5! = 4 \times 6 \times 120 = 2880\]
