Verified by Experts

(1) If we keep letter N always next to E then they(EN) treated as 1 letter, so we have total 5 letters now then we have by formula the number of ways of arrangement is`5!`
`\Rightarrow 120`ways
(2) If E and N are always togather then we have number of ways of arrangement
`5!\times 2!`
`\Rightarrow 240`ways
