- repeated times
- repeated times
Therefore, number of arrangements of these 8 objects is
-
Arrange the vowels within the vowel block
The vowels are:
Number of distinct arrangements of these 6 vowels is
-
Multiply both counts
Total number of required words is
Now compute:
and
Hence,
-
Final answer
-
