Solution

Total number of words formed by 2 vowels and 3 consonants taken from 4 vowels and 5 consonants is equal to 7200.

Explanation:

Given that total numbers of vowels = 4

And total numbers of consonants = 5

Total number of words formed by 2 vowels and 3 consonants

= 4C2 × 5C3

= `(4!)/(2!2!) xx (5!)/(3!2!)`

= `(4 xx 3 xx 2!)/(2 xx 1 xx 2!) xx (5 xx 4 xx 3!)/(3! xx 2)`

= 6 × 10

= 60

Now permutation of 2 vowels and 3 consonants = 5!

= 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1

= 120

So, the total number of words = 60 × 120 = 7200.
