Find the number of ways of arranging the letters of the words DANGER, so that no vowel occupies odd place.

  • A.36
  • B.48
  • C.144
  • D.96

Answer: C

The given word is DANGER. Number of letters is 6. Number of vowels is 2 (i.e., A, E). Number of consonants is 4 (i.e., D,N,G,R). As the vowels cannot occupy odd places, they can be arranged in even places. Two vowels can be arranged in 3 even places in 3P2 ways i.e., 6. Rest of the consonants can arrange in the remaining 4 places in 4! ways. The total number of arrangements is 6 x 4! = 144.
