The number of words, with or without meaning, that can be formed using all the letters of the word ASSASSINATION so that the vowels occur together, is _____ .

Solution

In the word ASSASSINATION, we will treat all the vowels that is AAAIIO  as one letter only.

Now, we have AAAIIOSSSSNNT

This has 8=(7 + 1) letters of which S occurs 4 times, and N occur 2 times,

Thus, the number of ways of  arranging these letters =8!4!2!=840.

Now, 6 vowels in which A occurs 3 times, and I occur two times, they can be arranged in 6!3!2!=60  ways. 

 Therefore, required number of ways= (840 × 60) = 50400.
