Question 1 Back to Exercise

In how many ways can the letters of ENGINEERING be arranged so that all the vowels come together?

  • A 420
  • B 2,77,200
  • C 4,200 Correct
  • D 8,400
Correct Answer: Option C

Vowels E, E, E, I, I as one block; consonants N, N, N, G, G, R

Units: block + 6 → 7!/(3! 2!) = 420

Inside the block: 5!/(3! 2!) = 10

420 × 10 = 4,200

Trap: 420 forgets to arrange the vowels.

Answer: 4,200
