Solution

In the word EQUATION, there are 5 vowels, namely, A, E, I, O, and U, and 3 consonants, namely, Q, T, and N.

Sequence of vowel letters = 5! = 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 120

Sequence of consonant letters = 3! = 3 x 2 x 1 = 6

Vowels and letters can be written in 2 ways, take vowels first or take consonants.

Words formed from the letters of the word EQUATION when vowels and consonants come together 

120 x 6 x 2 = 1440
