the vowels come together?
Advertisements
Solution
Number of vowels = 2
Number of consonants = 5
Considering the two vowels as a single entity, we are now to arrange 6 entities taken all at a time.
Total number of ways = 6!
Also, the two vowels can be mutually arranged amongst themselves in 2! ways.
By fundamental principle of counting:
Total number of words that can be formed = 6!\[\times\]2! = 1440
