Solution
Vowels :A,E,I,O,U
In the word "TRIANGLE"
⇒ Number of vowels =3
Number of constants =5
Since the relative positions of the vowels and consonants are not distributed. The 3 volumes can be arranged in their relative positions in 3! ways and the 5 consonants can be arranged in their relative positions in 5! ways.
∴ The number of required arrangements =(3!)(5!)=(6)(125)=720 ways.
