- ans-(C)
3 consonents r selected from 7 cons. is 7c3
2 vowels are selected from 4 vowels is 4c2
and these 5 words can arranged in 5!
recquired no of ways - (7C3 x 4C2)*5!=(210 x 120) = 25200 - 13 years agoHelpfull: Yes(28) No(9)

- no of words= 7c3*4c2
= 35*6
= 210 - 13 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(19)
- Number of ways of selecting (3 consonants out of 7) and (2 vowels out of 4)
= (7C3 x 4C2)
= 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3
3 x 2 x 1 2 x 1
= 210.
Number of groups, each having 3 consonants and 2 vowels = 210.
Each group contains 5 letters.
Number of ways of arranging
5 letters among themselves = 5!
= 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1
= 120.
Required number of ways = (210 x 120) = 25200. - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
