how many 4 consonants and 3 vowels can be made from 12 consonants and 4 vowels
Read Solution (Total 3)
-
- Sorry, the explanation would be:
Number of ways of selecting 4 consonants out of 12 = 12C4 = 2970
Number of ways of selecting 3 vowels out of 4 = 4C3 = 4
Number of ways of selecting 4 consonants out of 12 and 3 vowels out of 4 =
12C4 x 4C3 = 2970*4 = 11880.
It means that we can have 11880 groups where each group contains total 7 letters(4 consonants and 3 vowels).
Now, the number of ways of arranging 7 letters among themselves = 7!
= 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 5040
Hence, Required number of ways = 11880 x 5040 = 59875200. - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(1)
- 4 consonants select from 12 consonants in 12c4 ways i.e, 495
3 vowels select from 4 vowels in 4c3 ways i.e, 4
so the ans is 495*4

- With 12 consonants, 3 number of 4 consonants can be made and with the help of 4 vowels, at least 1 number of 3 vowels can be made. So in all, 4 is the answer.
