Answer: Option B
Solution
Answer: Option B
Solution:
Keeping the vowels (AEIA) together, we have MTHMTCS (AEAI).Now, we have to arrange 8 letters, out of which we have 2M, 2T and the rest are all different.
Number of ways of arranging these letters
Now, (AEAI) has 4 letters, out of which we have 2A, 1E and 1I.
Number of ways of arranging these letters
∴ Required number of ways = (10080 × 12) = 120960
