In how  many  different ways can be letters of the word `BANKING` be arranged so that the vowels always come

together ?


Options:
A .  120
B .  240
C .  360
D .  540
E .  720
Answer: Option E

In the word `BANKING` , we treat the two vowels  AI as one letter . Thus , we have BNKNG(AI).

This has 6 letters of which  N occurs 2 times and he rest are different .

Number of ways of arranging these letters =  `(6!)/((2!) (1!) (1!) (1!) (1!))` = 360.

Now, 2 vowels  AI can be arranged in  2! = 2 ways.

`:.`      Required number of ways = (360 x 2) = 720.
