The word 'OPTICAL' contains 7 different letters.

When the vowels OIA are always together, they can be supposed to form one letter.

Then, we have to arrange the letters PTCL (OIA).

Now, 5 letters can be arranged in 5! = 120 ways.

The vowels (OIA) can be arranged among themselves in 3! = 6 ways.

Required number of ways = (120 x 6) = 720.

optical=7 letters
vowels=3 letters, so there are 3! ways to arrange them
non vowels=4 letters, so there are 4! ways to arrange them
We are finding factorial separately since we have asked that vowels should always come together.

Now, we can have 4! times of 3! ways to arrange the word so that we have our vowel together always,

Hence, 4!*3! = 144

optical = 5 letters... so 5! result as 5*4*3*2*1=120
oia vowels in this optical word
oia= 3 letters as 3!=6
120*6=720

sudhas  (9 years ago)

OPTICAL= 7 different letters,OIA is vowels always come together,so PTCL(OIA) 5 letters,
now 5letters =5!,1*2*3*4*5=120 ways and 3 Vowels so 3!=6ways

Ans is=(120*6)=720

Is this solution Helpfull? Yes (1) | No   

T SUMANTH  (9 years ago)

lets us consider (oia) as one word and remaining (ptcl) are four words total (4+1=5)
i.e (5!*3!)=720

Is this solution Helpfull? Yes (1) | No   

Kannan Mohan  (8 years ago)

Ans :
OPTICAL has 3 vowels and 4 consonants . Consider 3 vowels has a single unit . So 4+1=5 units in whole. Number of combination = 3!*5!=720

Is this solution Helpfull? Yes (1) | No   

divya  (9 years ago)

optical=7 letters
vowels (oia)= 3 letters
non vowels (ptcl)=4 letters
so no of ways = 7!/(3!)(4!)=35
