Question Detail

In how many ways can the letters of the word "CORPORATION" be arranged so that vowels always come together.

5760
50400
2880
None of above

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Vowels in the word "CORPORATION" are O,O,A,I,O
Lets make it as CRPRTN(OOAIO)

This has 7 lettes, where R is twice so value = 7!/2!
= 2520

Vowel O is 3 times, so vowels can be arranged = 5!/3!

= 20

Total number of words = 2520 * 20 = 50400

1. In how many way the letter of the word "RUMOUR" can be arranged

2520
480
360
180

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

In above word, there are 2 "R" and 2 "U"
So Required number will be

\begin{aligned}
= \frac{6!}{2!*2!} \\
= \frac{6*5*4*3*2*1}{4} \\
= 180
\end{aligned}

2. In how many words can be formed by using all letters of the word BHOPAL

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Required number
\begin{aligned}
= 6! \\
= 6*5*4*3*2*1 \\
= 720
\end{aligned}

3. Evaluate permutation equation
\begin{aligned} ^{75}{P}_2\end{aligned}

5200
5300
5450
5550

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
^n{P}_r = \frac{n!}{(n-r)!} \\
^{75}{P}_2 = \frac{75!}{(75-2)!} \\
= \frac{75*74*73!}{(73)!} \\
= 5550

\end{aligned}

4. Evaluate combination
\begin{aligned}
^{100}{C}_{100}
\end{aligned}

10000
1000
10
1

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
^{n}{C}_{n} = 1 \\
^{100}{C}_{100} = 1
\end{aligned}

5. In how many ways can the letters of the CHEATER be arranged

20160
2520
360
80

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

As we can see the letter "E" is twice in given word, so Required Number
\begin{aligned}
= \frac{7!}{2!} \\
= \frac{7*6*5*4*3*2!}{2!} \\
= 2520
\end{aligned}

Hello Fernando,
As per solution we have written like CRPRTN(OOAIO)
Here we take it 7 letters , 6 (CRPRTN) + 1 (OOAIO), as we need to vowel always come together, this way we counted them 7. Then solved the question.
Hope it helped you..
