Question

In how many ways, the letters of the word 'SACRED' can be arranged so that vowels come together?

• A. 240
• B. 120
• C. 320
• D. 720
• E. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is A 240

The word 'SACRED' consists of 4 consonants (SCRD) and 2 vowels (AE). On keeping vowels together, we get SCRD (AE)
$\therefore$ Number of arrangements = 5 ! $\times$ 2 !
$=5\times 4\times 3\times 2\times 1\times 2\times 1$
= 240
