What is the number of words formed by 3 consonants and 2 vowels out of 5 consonants and 4 vowels?

From $7$ consonants and $5$ vowels, how many words can be formed consisting of $4$ consonants and $3$ vowels if any letter can be repeated?

Your answer $7^4 \cdot 5^3$ is the number of ways the first four positions can be filled with consonants and the last three positions can be filled with vowels when letters may be repeated. However, the problem does not specify the positions of the consonants and vowels, so we must select them.

Notice that selecting which four of the seven positions will be filled with consonants also determines the positions of the three vowels since each of the remaining three positions must be filled with vowels.

We must select which four of the seven positions must be filled with consonants, which can be done in $\binom{7}{4}$ ways. Each of those four selected positions can be filled with a consonant in seven ways. Each of the remaining three positions can be filled with a vowel in five ways. Hence, there are $$\binom{7}{4}7^4 \cdot 5^3$$ words that can be formed consisting of four consonants and three vowels selected from an alphabet of seven consonants and three vowels with repetition.

The stated answer $7^7\dbinom{7}{4}\dbinom{5}{3}$ is nonsense.

From $7$ consonants and $5$ vowels, how many words can be formed consisting of $4$ consonants and $3$ vowels if no letter can be repeated?

Your answer $P(7, 4)P(5, 3)$ is the number of ways of filling the first four positions with distinct consonants and the last three positions with distinct vowels. However, the problem does not specify the positions of the consonants and vowels, so we must select them.

As above, we select four of the seven positions for the consonants. There are $P(7, 4)$ ways to arrange four of the seven consonants in those positions and $P(5, 3)$ ways to arrange three of the five vowels in the remaining three positions. Hence, there are $$\binom{7}{4}P(7, 4)P(5, 3)$$ words that can be formed consisting of four distinct consonants and three distinct vowels selected from an alphabet of seven consonants and five vowels.

Notice that $$\binom{7}{4}P(7, 4)P(5, 3) = \frac{7!}{4!3!} \cdot \frac{7!}{3!} \cdot \frac{5!}{2!} = 7! \cdot \frac{7!}{4!3!} \cdot \frac{5!}{2!3!} = 7!\binom{7}{4}\binom{5}{3}$$ The author of your book arrived at the answer by selecting four of the seven consonants in $\binom{7}{4}$ ways, selecting three of the five vowels in $\binom{5}{3}$ ways, and then arranging the seven distinct selected letters in $7!$ ways.

Solution

The correct option is C72002 out of 4 vowels can be chosen in 4C2 ways and 3 out of 5 consonants can be chosen in 5C3 ways.Thus, there are (C2×5C3) groups, each containing 2 vowels and 3 consonants.Each group contains 5 letters that can be arranged in 5! ways.∴ Required number of words(4C2×5C3)×5!=60×120=7200

How many words are formed by 2 vowels and 3 consonants taken from 4 vowels and 5 consonants?

=60×120=7200.

How many words of 3 consonants and 2 vowels can be formed out of 5 consonants and 3 vowels?

Number of groups, each having 3 consonants and 2 vowels = 210. Each group contains 5 letters. = 5! = 120.

How many words of 3 consonants and 2 vowels can be formed?

Number of groups, each having 3 consonants and 2 vowels = 210. Each group consist of 5 letters.

How many 5 letter words can be formed using 2 vowels and 3 consonants?

There are 1440*10 = 14400 possible 5-letter “words” with two vowels and three consonants.
