In how many different ways can the letters of the word 'LEADING' be arranged in such a way that the vowels always come together?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
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.

LEADING
Vowels can be together in 5 ways.
So 5!=120.
Vowels can be arranged in 3 ways.
So 3!=6.
Total = 120x6 = 720.
Hope you understand.

LEADING = 7 letters => 4 alphabets (LNDG) + 1 group (3 vowels) = 5 ! ways.
=>5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = 120.
Now, the group can be arranged in 3 ways, since there are 3 vowels,
So 3!=6 (3 * 2 * 1).
Hence, 120 * 6 = 720 ways can be arranged.
=>5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = 120.
Now, the group can be arranged in 3 ways, since there are 3 vowels,
So 3!=6 (3 * 2 * 1).
Hence, 120 * 6 = 720 ways can be arranged.

@Deepanesh.
We are taking the possibilities of vowel because vowels can also change their position in the given arrangement.

Hello,
We have word leading.we have vowels( EAI), first taken as 1 and can be arranged in _L_D_N_G_ that is in 5! Ways, EAI in 3! Ways, and LNDG in 4! ways.
That is 5! * 4! * 3! = 17,280 ways.
