In how many different ways can the letters of the word 'LEADING' be arranged in such a way that the vowels always come together?
360
480
720
5040
None of these
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.

Vowels are EA so _L_D_I_N_G_.

So there is six space we can arrange EA so the answer is 6! = 720.

LEADING- V-3,(1 unit).
C-4 ,(4+ 1unit)=5!
n-7.
=5!*3!=120*6=720.

@All.

Answer is not 720.

Ans is 5040.

L E A D I N G
Total 7!
So 1*2*3*4*5*6*7 = 5040.

@Adhityasena.

You have not considered a vowel 'I'. 'EAI' is to be taken as one unit.
