The word 'LEADING' has 7 different letters.
When the vowels EAI are always together, they can be supposed to form one letter.
Then, we have to arrange the letters LNDG (EAI).
Now, 5 (4 + 1 = 5) letters can be arranged in 5! = 120 ways.
The vowels (EAI) can be arranged among themselves in 3! = 6 ways.
Required number of ways = (120 x 6) = 720.

In the word 'CORPORATION', we treat the vowels OOAIO as one letter.
Thus, we have CRPRTN (OOAIO).
This has 7 (6 + 1) letters of which R occurs 2 times and the rest are different.
Number of ways arranging these letters = | 7! | = 2520. |
2! |
Now, 5 vowels in which O occurs 3 times and the rest are different, can be arranged
in | 5! | = 20 ways. |
3! |
Required number of ways = (2520 x 20) = 50400.

= 210. |
Number of groups, each having 3 consonants and 2 vowels = 210.
Each group contains 5 letters.
Number of ways of arranging 5 letters among themselves |
= 5! |
= 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 | |
= 120. |
Required number of ways = (210 x 120) = 25200.

The word 'LEADER' contains 6 letters, namely 1L, 2E, 1A, 1D and 1R.
Required number of ways = | 6! | = 360. |
