In how many different ways can the letters of the word 'MATHEMATICS' be arranged so that the vowels always come together?

We may have (1 boy and 3 girls) or (2 boys and 2 girls) or (3 boys and 1 girl) or (4 boys).

∴ Required number of ways	= (6C1 x 4C3) + (6C2 x 4C2) + (6C3 x 4C1) + (6C4)
	= (6C1 x 4C1) + (6C2 x 4C2) + (6C3 x 4C1) + (6C2)
	= (6 x 4) + ❨ 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 ❩ + ❨ 6 x 5 x 4 x 4 ❩ + ❨ 6 x 5 ❩ 2 x 1 2 x 1 3 x 2 x 1 2 x 1
	= (24 + 90 + 80 + 15)
	= 209.

Required number of ways = (7C5 x 3C2) = (7C2 x 3C1) =	❨	7 x 6	x 3	❩	= 63.
		2 x 1

Since each desired number is divisible by 5, so we must have 5 at the unit place. So, there is 1 way of doing it.

The tens place can now be filled by any of the remaining 5 digits (2, 3, 6, 7, 9). So, there are 5 ways of filling the tens place.

The hundreds place can now be filled by any of the remaining 4 digits. So, there are 4 ways of filling it.

∴ Required number of numbers = (1 x 5 x 4) = 20.

In the word 'CORPORATION', we treat the vowels OOAIO as one letter.

Thus, we have CRPRTN (OOAIO).

This has 7 (6 + 1) letters of which R occurs 2 times and the rest are different.

Number of ways arranging these letters =	7!	= 2520.
	2!

Now, 5 vowels in which O occurs 3 times and the rest are different, can be arranged

in	5!	= 20 ways.
	3!

∴ Required number of ways = (2520 x 20) = 50400.

Required number of ways	= (8C5 x 10C6)
	= (8C3 x 10C4)
	= ❨ 8 x 7 x 6 x 10 x 9 x 8 x 7 ❩ 3 x 2 x 1 4 x 3 x 2 x 1
	= 11760.

'LOGARITHMS' contains 10 different letters.

Required number of words	= Number of arrangements of 10 letters, taking 4 at a time.
	= 10P4
	= (10 x 9 x 8 x 7)
	= 5040.

We may have (3 men and 2 women) or (4 men and 1 woman) or (5 men only).

∴ Required number of ways	= (7C3 x 6C2) + (7C4 x 6C1) + (7C5)
	= ❨ 7 x 6 x 5 x 6 x 5 ❩ + (7C3 x 6C1) + (7C2) 3 x 2 x 1 2 x 1
	= 525 + ❨ 7 x 6 x 5 x 6 ❩ + ❨ 7 x 6 ❩ 3 x 2 x 1 2 x 1
	= (525 + 210 + 21)
	= 756.

Let the numbers be x and y.

Then, x + y = 25 and x - y = 13.

4xy = (x + y)² - (x- y)²

   = (25)² - (13)²

   = (625 - 169)

   = 456

∴ xy = 114.

Let the ten's digit be x.

Then, unit's digit = x + 2.

Number = 10x + (x + 2) = 11x + 2.

Sum of digits = x + (x + 2) = 2x + 2.

∴ (11x + 2)(2x + 2) = 144

⟹ 22x² + 26x - 140 = 0

⟹ 11x² + 13x - 70 = 0

⟹ (x - 2)(11x + 35) = 0

⟹ x = 2.

Hence, required number = 11x + 2 = 24.

Let the middle digit be x.

Then, 2x = 10 or x = 5. So, the number is either 253 or 352.

Since the number increases on reversing the digits, so the hundred's digits is smaller than the unit's digit.

Hence, required number = 253.
