1. Find the number of permutations that can be had from the letters of the word 'OMEGA' such that
i) O & Aoccupy odd places
ii) E always occupies the middle place
iii) Vowels occupy odd places
iv) All the vowels are never together
Dear Student Your friend has provided the correct answer.
@Harmeet: Good effort! Keep posting!
For part(1):
Second step: O and A are two letters to be arranged = 3p2.2!
(Explanation: Two letters O and A can be arranged in three odd place in 3p2 ways.
Now, these two letters can be arranged among themselves in 2! ways.
So, no. of ways to arrange O and A = 3p2.2!)
Rest everything is same.
Got it!
