How many words can be formed with 3 vowels and 2 consonants taken from the word involute?

How many words, each of 3 vowels and 2 consonants, can be formed from the letters of the word ‘INVOLUTE’?

How many words, each of 3 vowels and 2 consonants, can be formed from the letters of the word ‘INVOLUTE’?

How many words, each of 3 vowels and 2 consonants, can be formed from the letters of the word ‘INVOLUTE’?

Answer : In the word ‘INVOLUTE’ there are 4 vowels, ‘I’,’O’,’U’ and ‘E’ and there are 4 consonants, ‘N’,’V’,’L’ and ‘T’. 3 vowels out of 4 vowels can be chosen in 4C3ways. 2 consonants out of 4 consonants can be chosen in 4C2 ways. Length of the formed words will be [3 + 2] = 5. So, the 5 letters can be written in 5! Ways. Therefore, the total number of words can be formed is = [4C3 X 4C2 X 5!] = 2880.

The word is 'INVOLUTE'
               Number of consonants = 4
                     Number of vowels = 4.
The words formed should contain 3 vowels and 2 consonants.
The problems becomes:
[i]                 Select 3 vowels out of 4.

                   Number of selections =


[ii]         Select two consonants out of 4.

                    Number of selections = 


[iii]  Arrange the five letters [3 vowels + 2 consonants] to form words.
                        Number of permutations = 5!
[iv]  Apply fundamental principle of counting:

How many words each of 3 vowels and 2 consonants can be formed from the letters of the word INVOLUTE?

There are 4 vowels and 4 consonants in the word INVOLUTE.
Out of these, 3 vowels and 2 consonants can be chosen in \[\left[ {}^4 C_3 \times^4 C_2 \right]\]  ways.

The 5 letters that have been selected can be arranged in 5! ways.
∴ Required number of words =\[\left[ {}^4 C_3 \times {}^4 C_2 \right] \times 5! = 4 \times 6 \times 120 = 2880\]
