In how many different ways can the letters of the word 'LEADING' be arranged in such a way that the vowels always come together?

A. 360
B. 480
C. 720
D. 5040
E. None of these

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

The word 'LEADING' has 7 different letters.

When the vowels EAI are always together, they can be supposed to form one letter.

Then, we have to arrange the letters LNDG (EAI).

Now, 5 (4 + 1 = 5) letters can be arranged in 5! = 120 ways.

The vowels (EAI) can be arranged among themselves in 3! = 6 ways.

The letters of bottle are permuted in all possible ways how many of these words have all the vowels
Required number of ways = (120 x 6) = 720.

How many 3-digit numbers can be formed from the digits 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 and 9, which are divisible by 5 and none of the digits is repeated?

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Since each desired number is divisible by 5, so we must have 5 at the unit place. So, there is 1 way of doing it.

The tens place can now be filled by any of the remaining 5 digits (2, 3, 6, 7, 9). So, there are 5 ways of filling the tens place.

The hundreds place can now be filled by any of the remaining 4 digits. So, there are 4 ways of filling it.

The letters of bottle are permuted in all possible ways how many of these words have all the vowels
Required number of numbers = (1 x 5 x 4) = 20.

In how many different ways can the letters of the word 'MATHEMATICS' be arranged so that the vowels always come together?

A. 10080
B. 4989600
C. 120960
D. None of these

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

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.

The letters of bottle are permuted in all possible ways how many of these words have all the vowels
Number of ways of arranging these letters =
8! = 10080.
(2!)(2!)

Now, AEAI has 4 letters in which A occurs 2 times and the rest are different.

Number of ways of arranging these letters = 4! = 12.
2!

The letters of bottle are permuted in all possible ways how many of these words have all the vowels
Required number of words = (10080 x 12) = 120960.
