Question -

In how many ways can the letters of the word ‘ALGEBRA’ be arranged without changing the relative order of the vowels and consonants?



Answer -

Given:

The word ‘ALGEBRA’

There are 4 consonantsin the word ‘ALGEBRA’

The number of ways toarrange these consonants is 4P4 = 4!

There are 3 vowels inthe word ‘ALGEBRA’ of which, 2 are A’s

So vowels can bearranged in n!/ (p! × q! × r!) = 3! / 2! Ways

Hence, the requirednumber of arrangements = 4! × (3! / 2!)

= [4×3×2×1×3×2×1] /(2×1)

= 4×3×2×1×3 = 72
