Direction: Find the number of permutations that can be made from the letters of the word 'OMEGA'.

  1. Vowels being never together.
    1. 36 ways
    2. 84 ways
    3. 120 ways
    4. 10 ways
    5. None of the above
Correct Option: B

Total number of words = 5! = 120
combining the vowels at one place(OEA) with remaining 2 letters MG, letters can be arranged in 3! ways. Also, three vowels can be arranged in 3! ways
So, when vowels are together, then number of words = 3! x 3! = 36
there4; Required number of ways, when vowels being never together =120 - 36 = 84
