Description : In how many different ways can the letters of the word "ZYMOGEN" be arranged in such a way that the vowels always come together? a) 1440 b) 1720 c) 2360 d) 2240

Last Answer : Answer: A)  The arrangement is made in such a way that the vowels always come together. i.e., "ZYMGN(OE)". Considering vowels as one letter, 6 different letters can be arranged in 6! ways; i.e., 6! = 720 ... in 2! ways; i.e.,2! = 2 ways Therefore, required number of ways = 720 x 2 = 1440 ways.
