  • Options
  • A. 1440
  • B. 720
  • C. 360
  • D. 640

  • Correct Answer
  • 1440 

    Explanation

    There are 7 letters in the word DRAUGHT, the two vowels are A and U. Since, the vowels are not to be separated, AU can be considered as one entity. Therefore, the number of letters will be 6 instead of 7. The permutations will be P(6,6) = 6! ways.

     

    But the two vowels A and U can be arranged in two ways, i.e. AU and UA. The required number of arrangements = 2!.6! = 1440 ways.
