Solution
In the word DAUGHTER, there are 3 vowels namely, A, U, and E, and 5 consonants namely, D, G, H, T, and R.
Number of ways of selecting 2 vowels out of 3 vowels =`""^3C_2 = 3`
Number of ways of selecting 3 consonants out of 5 consonants = `""^5C_3 = 3`
Therefore, number of combinations of 2 vowels and 3 consonants = 3 × 10 = 30
Each of these 30 combinations of 2 vowels and 3 consonants can be arranged among themselves in 5! ways.
Hence, required number of different words = 30 × 5! = 3600
