Question

Out of 7 consonants and 4 vowels, how many words of 3 consonants and 2 vowels can be formed?

Options:
A .  210
B .  1050
C .  25200
D .  21400
E .  None of these
Answer: Option C

Number of ways of selecting (3 consonants out of 7) and (2 vowels out of 4)


= (7C3 x 4C2)


= \(\left(\frac{7\times6\times5}{4\times3\times1}\times\frac{4\times3}{2\times1}\right)\)


= 210.


Number of groups, each having 3 consonants and 2 vowels = 2


Number of ways of arranging 
5 letters among themselves   = 5!


= 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1


= 120.


So,Required number of ways = (210 x 120) = 25200.
