Question 1 Back to Exercise

In how many ways can the letters of ARTICLE be arranged so that the vowels are never all together?

  • A 4,320 Correct
  • B 720
  • C 5,040
  • D 3,600
Correct Answer: Option A

All = 7! = 5,040

Vowels A, I, E together: 5! × 3! = 720

Not all together = 5,040 − 720 = 4,320

Trap: 720 is the "together" count.

Answer: 4,320
