The correct Answer is:
To find the number of different words that can be formed from the letters of the word "TRIANGLE" such that no vowels are together, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Vowels and Consonants The word "TRIANGLE" consists of: - Vowels: I, A, E (3 vowels) - Consonants: T, R, N, G, L (5 consonants) ### Step 2: Arrange the Consonants First, we arrange the consonants. The number of ways to arrange 5 consonants is given by: \[ 5! = 120 \] ### Step 3: Determine the Gaps for Vowels Once the consonants are arranged, we can visualize the arrangement as follows: - For example, if the consonants are arranged as T R N G L, we can place gaps around them: ``` _ T _ R _ N _ G _ L _ ``` This creates 6 gaps (one before each consonant and one after the last consonant) where we can place the vowels. ### Step 4: Choose Gaps for the Vowels We need to select 3 out of these 6 gaps to place the vowels. The number of ways to choose 3 gaps from 6 is given by: \[ \binom{6}{3} = 20 \] ### Step 5: Arrange the Vowels The 3 vowels can be arranged among themselves in: \[ 3! = 6 \] ### Step 6: Calculate the Total Arrangements Now, we multiply the number of arrangements of consonants, the number of ways to choose gaps, and the arrangements of vowels: \[ \text{Total arrangements} = (5!) \times \binom{6}{3} \times (3!) \] Substituting the values we calculated: \[ \text{Total arrangements} = 120 \times 20 \times 6 \] ### Step 7: Perform the Calculation Calculating this gives: \[ 120 \times 20 = 2400 \] \[ 2400 \times 6 = 14400 \] ### Final Answer Thus, the total number of different words that can be formed from the letters of the word "TRIANGLE" so that no vowels are together is: \[ \boxed{14400} \]
