How many different words can be made using the letters of the word ' HALLUCINATION ' if all constants are together?

Correct Answer: 1587600

Explanation:

 H   L   C   N    T    A   U   I   O


 


      L        N          A        I


 


There are total 131 letters out of which 7 are consonants and 6 are vowels. Also ther are 2L's , 2N's, 2A's and 2I's.


 


If all the consonants  are together then the numberof arrangements =  7 ! 2 ! x 1/2! .


But the 7 consonants  can be arranged themselves in   7 ! 2 !  x 1/2! ways. 


 


Hence the required number of ways =  7 ! 2 ! 2 ! 2 = 1587600
