Solution

 7200
2 out of 4 vowels can be chosen in 4C2 ways and 3 out of 5 consonants can be chosen in 5C3 ways.
Thus, there are \[\left( C_2 \times {}^5 {C^4}_3 \right)\] groups, each containing 2 vowels and 3 consonants.
Each group contains 5 letters that can be arranged in 5! ways.
∴ Required number of words =\[\left( {}^4 C_2 \times {}^5 C_3 \right) \times 5! = 60 \times 120 = 7200\]
