(a) 360 (b) 480 (c) 720 (d) 5040
Read Solution (Total 11)
-
- the word leading contains 7 different letters,when the vowels eai r always together they can be supposed to form 1 letter
then we have to arrange ldng (eai)
now,5 letters can be arranged in 5!ways=120 ways
the vowels (eai)can be arranged in 3! ways=6ways
required no of ways =120*6=720
so ans is c

- total letters LDNG(EAI) are 5 now..
5! = 120
EAI can be arranged in 3! ways = 6
total ways 120 x 6 =720
ans: (c) 720 - 14 years agoHelpfull: Yes(7) No(2)
- LEADING has 3 vowels and rest consonants. vowels can be taken as one entity, so there are 5 entities to be arranged. 5P5 = 120
vowels can be arranged in 3P3 ways = 6
required words = 120*6 = 720
ans is (C) - 14 years agoHelpfull: Yes(5) No(1)
- except vowels A,E,I...we ve to arrange LDNG letters...LDNG can be arranged in 5!ways=120..and AEI can be arranged in 3! ways=6 so, (120*6)=720 is the
answer - 14 years agoHelpfull: Yes(5) No(4)
- 4+1(AEI)=5!
AEI=3!
5!*3!=720 - 14 years agoHelpfull: Yes(4) No(2)
- 720
taking the vowel and consont apart
ldng=4!+taking vowel together and considering as one so=5!=120
now for 3 vowels=6
6*120 - 14 years agoHelpfull: Yes(4) No(1)
- 5!*3!=720

- mr. karthik channapatna has given best answer of all
- 14 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(5)
- 720,vowel-aei will be written in 3ways &rest will be 4ways
- 14 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- ans is 720.
e a i _ _ _ _ eai can be read as a single alphabet.hence total no of ways is 5!.
now eai can be arranged in 3! ways
hence toatal no of ways are 5! *3! - 14 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(1)
- ans is 5!*3!=120*6=720
- 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
