Advertisements
Solution
The word INTERMEDIATE consists of 12 letters that include two Is, two Ts and three Es.
There are 6 vowels (I, I, E, E, E and A) that are to be arranged in six even places =\[\frac{6!}{2!3!}\]= 60
The remaining 6 consonants can be arranged amongst themselves in\[\frac{6!}{2!}\]
ways, which is equal to 360.
By fundamental principle of counting, the number of words that can be formed = 60\[\times\]360 = 21600
