Show

Solution

The number of objects(n), in this case, is 5, as the word SMOKE has 5 alphabets.and r=3, as 3-letter word has to be chosen.Thus, the permutation will be:Permutation (when repetition is allowed) =5×5×5=125

The answer to this depends what you mean by “vowel” and “word.”

In this article, we explain what vowel means and how English words without vowels can—and do!—exist. We also talk about the examples that some people may or may not believe are actually words.

Are there words with no vowels?

There are two things we mean by the word vowel: a speech sound made with the vocal tract open, or a letter of the alphabet standing for a spoken vowel.

Cwm and crwth do not contain the letters a, e, i, o, u, or y, the usual vowels (that is, the usual symbols that stand for vowel sounds) in English. But in those words the letter w simply serves instead, standing for the same sound that oo stands for in the words boom and booth. Dr., nth (as in “to the nth degree”), and TV also do not contain any vowel symbols, but they, like cwm and crwth, do contain vowel sounds.

Shh, psst, and hmm do not have vowels, either vowel symbols or vowel sounds. There is some controversy whether they are in fact “words,” however. But if a word is “the smallest unit of grammar that can stand alone as a complete utterance, separated by spaces in written language and potentially by pauses in speech,” then those do qualify. Psst, though, is the only one that appears in the Oxford English Dictionary.

Electric charges and coulomb's law (Basic)

10 Questions 10 Marks 10 Mins

Concept:

If n is a positive integer and r is a whole number, such that r < n, then P(n, r) represents the number of all possible arrangements or permutations of n distinct objects taken r at a time.

It can be represented as nPr = \(\frac{n!}{(n-r)!}\).

The combination is defined as “An arrangement of objects where the order in which the objects are selected does not matter.” 

nCr = \(\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}\) ,  when n < r

Where n = distinct object to choose from

C = Combination

r = spaces to fill

Calculation:

Vowels = 2

Consonants = 5

Total Alphabets = 7

Since 4 letter words must include 2 vowels, we don't need to select them, and the rest of the 2 letters will be taken from 5 consonants.

Number of ways of selecting 2 letters from 5 consonants = 5C2 = 10

Arrangement of all 4 letters will be given by 4! = 24 ways

Total number of arrangements = 5C× 4! = 10 × 24 = 240 ways

∴ The total number of words that can be formed is 240.

Solution

Total number of letters in word MONDAY = 6Number of vowels in word MONDAY = 2(i) Number of letters used = 4∴ Number of permutations = 6P4=6!(6−4)!=6!2!=6×5×4×3×2!2!=360(ii) Number of letters used = 6∴ Number of permutations = 6P6= 6!0!=6×5×4×3×2×1=720(iii) Here the first letter is vowel.∴ Number of permutation of vowel = 2P1= 2!1!=2 Now the remaining five places can be filled with remaining five letters.∴ Number of permutations = 5P5= 5!0!=5×4×3×2×1=120Thus total number of permutations= 2×120=240.

How many different words with or without meaning can be made using all the vowels at a time?

=120×6×2=1440.

How many words with or without meaning can be formed using all the letters of the word EQUATION at a time so that the vowels and consonants occur together?

Therefore, 1440 words with or without meaning, can be formed using all the letters of the word 'EQUATION', at a time so that the vowels and consonants occur together.

How many words with or without meaning can be formed by using all the letters of the word Santiago so that all the vowels come together?
