Question

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

Options:
A .  120
B .  720
C .  4320
D .  2160
E .  None of these
Answer: Option B

The word 'OPTICAL' contains 7 different letters.


When the vowels OIA are always together, they can be supposed to form one letter.


Then, we have to arrange the letters PTCL (OIA).


Now, 5 letters can be arranged in 5! = 120 ways.


The vowels (OIA) can be arranged among themselves in 3! = 6 ways.


So,  Required number of ways = (120 x 6) = 720
