In how many different ways can the letters of the word 'LEADING' be ar...
The word 'LEADING' has 7 different letters.
When the vowels EAI are always together, they can be supposed to form one letter.
Then, we have to arrange the letters LNDG (EAI).
Now, 5 (4 + 1) letters can be arranged in 5! = 120 ways.
The vowels (EAI) can be arranged among themselves in 3! = 6 ways.
Required number of ways = (120 * 6) = 720.

LEADING has 3vowels and 4 consonants. Keeping all vowels together LDNG(EAI) Hence vowels always coming together will be: 5¡ *3¡ It will be 720.

To solve this problem, we need to consider the vowels (EAI) as one group and treat it as a single letter. The word 'LEADING' has 7 letters, including 3 vowels (EAI) and 4 consonants (LNDG).
To find the number of arrangements where the vowels come together, we can consider the group of vowels (EAI) as a single letter. This reduces the problem to arranging 5 letters (the vowel group and the consonants) instead of 7.
To find the number of arrangements, we can use the formula for arranging n objects with k indistinguishable objects, which is n! / (k! * (n-k)!).
Let's calculate the number of arrangements step by step:
Step 1: Consider the group of vowels (EAI) as a single letter.
- We now have 5 letters to arrange: LNDG and the vowel group (EAI).
Step 2: Calculate the number of arrangements of the 5 letters.
- The number of arrangements is 5! / (2! * 3!) = (5 * 4 * 3!) / (2 * 3!) = 5 * 4 = 20.
Step 3: Consider the arrangements within the vowel group.
- Since the vowels (EAI) are considered as a single letter, the vowel group can be arranged among themselves in 3! = 6 ways.
Step 4: Multiply the number of arrangements from step 2 and step 3.
- The total number of arrangements where the vowels come together is 20 * 6 = 120.
Therefore, there are 120 different ways to arrange the letters of the word 'LEADING' such that the vowels come together.
Hence, the correct answer is option B) 720.
