The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of how many words can be formed using 4 consonants and 2 vowels from a set of 7 consonants and 6 vowels, we can break the solution down into several steps. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the total consonants and vowels**: - We have 7 consonants and 6 vowels. 2. **Choose the consonants**: - We need to select 4 consonants from the 7 available consonants. - The number of ways to choose 4 consonants from 7 is given by the combination formula: \[ \binom{n}{r} = \frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!} \] - Therefore, the number of ways to choose 4 consonants from 7 is: \[ \binom{7}{4} = \frac{7!}{4!(7-4)!} = \frac{7!}{4! \cdot 3!} = \frac{7 \times 6 \times 5}{3 \times 2 \times 1} = 35 \] 3. **Choose the vowels**: - Next, we need to select 2 vowels from the 6 available vowels. - The number of ways to choose 2 vowels from 6 is: \[ \binom{6}{2} = \frac{6!}{2!(6-2)!} = \frac{6!}{2! \cdot 4!} = \frac{6 \times 5}{2 \times 1} = 15 \] 4. **Calculate the total combinations**: - Now, we multiply the number of ways to choose the consonants and the vowels: \[ \text{Total combinations} = \binom{7}{4} \times \binom{6}{2} = 35 \times 15 = 525 \] 5. **Arrange the letters**: - Each group of selected letters (4 consonants + 2 vowels = 6 letters) can be arranged in different ways. - The number of ways to arrange 6 letters is given by \(6!\): \[ 6! = 720 \] 6. **Calculate the total number of words**: - Finally, we multiply the total combinations of letters by the arrangements of those letters: \[ \text{Total words} = 525 \times 720 = 378000 \] ### Final Answer: The total number of words that can be formed using 4 consonants and 2 vowels is **378000**. ---
