Q:

How many arrangements can be made out of the letters of the word COMMITTEE, taken all at a time, such that the four vowels do not come together?

A) 216 B) 45360
C) 1260 D) 43200
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 43200

Explanation:

There are total 9 letters in the word COMMITTEE in which there are 2M's, 2T's, 2E's.

The number of ways in which 9 letters can be arranged = 9!2!×2!×2! = 45360

 

There are 4 vowels O,I,E,E in the given word. If the four vowels always come together, taking them as one letter we have to arrange 5 + 1 = 6 letters which include 2Ms and 2Ts and this be done in 6!2!×2! = 180 ways.

 

In which of 180 ways, the 4 vowels O,I,E,E remaining together can be arranged in 4!2! = 12 ways.

 

The number of ways in which the four vowels always come together = 180 x 12 = 2160.

 

Hence, the required number of ways in which the four vowels do not come together = 45360 - 2160 = 43200

C) Only 3 follows D) Both 1 and 2 follow
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Only 3 follows

Explanation:

All snakes are trees. Some trees are roads.

Since the middle term is not distributed even once in the premises,so no conclusion follows

 

Some trees are roads. All roads are mountains

Since one primise is particular,the conclusion must be particularand should'nt contain the middle term. So,it follows that 'Some trees are mountains'. 3 is the converse of this statement and so it holds.

 

All snakes are trees. Some trees are mountains.

Since the middle term is not distributed even once in the preises, so no definite conclusion follows
