  • Question
  • Out of 7 consonants and 4 vowels, how many words of 3 consonants and 2 vowels can be formed?


  • Options
  • A. 210
  • B. 1050
  • C. 25200
  • D. 21400
  • E. None of these

  • Correct Answer
  • 25200 

    Explanation
    Number of ways of selecting (3 consonants out of 7) and (2 vowels out of 4)

          = (7C3 x 4C2)
    = 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3
    3 x 2 x 1 2 x 1
    = 210.

    Number of groups, each having 3 consonants and 2 vowels = 210.

    Each group contains 5 letters.

    Number of ways of arranging
    5 letters among themselves
    = 5!
    = 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1
    = 120.

    ∴ Required number of ways = (210 x 120) = 25200.
