Solution
Answer: Option B
Solution:
Keeping the vowels (AIA) together, we have CPTL (AIA).We treat (AIA) as 1 letter.
Thus, we have to arrange 5 letters.
These can be arranged in 5! = (5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1) ways = 120 ways
Now, (AIA) are 3 letters with 2A and 1I
These can be arranged among themselves in
ways
∴ Required number of ways = 120 × 3 = 360
