Question

How many strings are there using the letters of the word INTERMEDIATE, if all the vowels are together

Sum

Solution

All the vowels are together.

Take all the vowels as 1 unit.

Remaining consonants = 6

Total number of units for arrangement = 7

Number of arrangements = `(7!)/(2!)`

(Since in the consonant’s T’ s repeated twice)

= `(1 xx 2 xx 3 xx 4 xx 5 xx 6 xx 7)/(1 xx 2)`

= 2520

Among the vowels, the number of arrangements

= `(6!)/(2! xx 3!)`

= `(1 xx 2 xx 3 xx 4 xx 5xx 6)/(1 xx 2 xx 1 xx 2 xx 3)`

= 60

∴ Total number of arrangements = 2520 × 60

= 151200
