In How Many Different Ways Can The Letters Of The Word 'mathematics' Be Arranged So That The Vowels Always Come Together? |
|
Answer» In the word 'MATHEMATICS', we treat the vowels AEAI as one letter. THUS, we have MTHMTCS (AEAI). Now, we have to arrange 8 letters, out of which M occurs twice, T occurs twice and the rest are different. So,Number of ways of arranging these letters = (8!/2!*2!)=10080. Now, AEAI has 4 letters in which A occurs 2 TIMES and the rest are different. Number of ways of arranging these letters = (4!/2)=12. => REQUIRED number of words = (10080 * 12) = 120960.
