Answer»

The correct answer is (d) 2880

Explanation: There are 5 vowels in WORD EDUCATION. 5 vowels can be arranged in ^5P5 i.e. 5! ways. When all vowels are together, 5 vowels together FORM one LETTER and remaining 3 letters i.e. together 4 letters can be arranged in ^4P4 i.e. 4! ways. Total possible arrangements are 5! * 4! = 120*24 = 2880.
