Find the number of ways of arranging the letters of the word MONDAY so that no vowel occupies even place. |
|
Answer» In the word MONDAY there are two vowels, 4 consonants and three even places, three odd places. Since no vowel occupies even place, the two vowels can be filled in the three odd places in 3P2 ways. The 4 consonants can be filled in the remaining 4 places in 4! ways. ∴ The number of required arrangements = 3P2 × 4! = 6 × 24 = 144 |
