  • Options
  • A. 1440
  • B. 720
  • C. 2250
  • D. 3600

  • Correct Answer
  • 3600 

    Explanation

    Given word is THERAPY.

    Number of letters in the given word = 7

    These 7 letters can be arranged in 7! ways.

    Number of vowels in the given word = 2 (E, A)

    The number of ways of arrangement in which vowels come together is 6! x 2! ways

     

    Hence, the required number of ways can the letters of the word 'THERAPY' be arranged so that the vowels never come together = 7! - (6! x 2!) ways = 5040 - 1440 = 3600 ways.
