Read Solution (Total 6)
-
- words formed by letters of word CLINTON where tho vowels are together is 2*6!/2!= 6!
Total possible words formed by letters of word CLINTON = 7!/2!
chance that the two vowels come together = 6!/(7!/2) = 2/7 - 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(5) No(0)
- ans :720
The word 'CLINTON' has 7 different letters.
When the vowels IO are always together, they can be supposed to form one letter.
Then, we have to arrange the letters CLNTN (IO).
Now, 6 (5 + 1 = 6) letters of which N occurs 2 times ,so(6!/2!)=360 ways
The vowels (IO) can be arranged among themselves in 2! = 2 ways.
Required number of ways = (360*2) = 720. - 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(1)
- Here the question is of PROBABILITY. it is NOT asking of the no. of times when vowels are together but the CHANCES in which they are together.

- 240 ways
i,o are two vowels together can be placed in 2 ways i.e io are oi
and remaining 5 in 5!ways
5!*2=120*2=240 - 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(4)
