The correct Answer is:
To find the probability of forming words from the letters of the word "TUESDAY" such that all vowels come together, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the letters in "TUESDAY" The word "TUESDAY" consists of the following letters: - Consonants: T, S, D, Y - Vowels: U, E, A ### Step 2: Treat all vowels as a single unit Since we want all vowels to come together, we can treat the group of vowels (U, E, A) as a single unit or block. Therefore, we can represent the letters as: - Block of vowels: (UEA) - Consonants: T, S, D, Y Now we have the following units to arrange: - (UEA), T, S, D, Y ### Step 3: Count the total units We have a total of 5 units to arrange: 1. (UEA) 2. T 3. S 4. D 5. Y ### Step 4: Calculate the arrangements of these units The number of ways to arrange these 5 units is given by the factorial of the number of units: \[ 5! = 120 \] ### Step 5: Arrange the vowels within their block The vowels U, E, A can be arranged among themselves. The number of arrangements of the 3 vowels is: \[ 3! = 6 \] ### Step 6: Calculate the total arrangements with vowels together Now, we multiply the arrangements of the units by the arrangements of the vowels: \[ \text{Total arrangements with vowels together} = 5! \times 3! = 120 \times 6 = 720 \] ### Step 7: Calculate the total arrangements of the letters in "TUESDAY" The total number of arrangements of the letters in "TUESDAY" (which has 7 distinct letters) is: \[ 7! = 5040 \] ### Step 8: Calculate the probability The probability that all vowels come together is given by the ratio of the number of favorable arrangements to the total arrangements: \[ P(\text{vowels together}) = \frac{\text{Total arrangements with vowels together}}{\text{Total arrangements of letters}} = \frac{720}{5040} \] ### Step 9: Simplify the probability To simplify: \[ P(\text{vowels together}) = \frac{720 \div 720}{5040 \div 720} = \frac{1}{7} \] ### Final Answer The probability of forming words from the letters of the word "TUESDAY" such that all vowels come together is \( \frac{1}{7} \). ---
