Question
The total number of words which can be formed using all the letters of the word ″AKSHI″ if each word begins with vowel or terminates with vowel -
Options
A.84
B.12
C.48
D.60
Solution
Total possible words - words do not begin or terminate with vowel
Total words = 5! = 120
Words which do not begin and terminate with vowel
= 3 × 3 × 2 × 1 × 2 = 36
Desired words : 180 - 36 = 84
II-Method → words which begin with vowel
(A/I) = 4! × 2 = 48 ways → say = n (A)
Similarly words terminating with vowel
- 4! × 2 = 48 ways → say = n(B)
Now exclude words which begin as well as terminates with vowel
2 × 3 × 2 × 1 × 1 = 12 ways → n (A ∩ B)
Desired number of words :-
48 + 48 - 12 = 84 ways
(∵ n(A υ B) = n(A) + n(B) - n (A ∩ B))
Total words = 5! = 120
Words which do not begin and terminate with vowel
= 3 × 3 × 2 × 1 × 2 = 36
Desired words : 180 - 36 = 84
II-Method → words which begin with vowel
(A/I) = 4! × 2 = 48 ways → say = n (A)
Similarly words terminating with vowel
- 4! × 2 = 48 ways → say = n(B)
Now exclude words which begin as well as terminates with vowel
2 × 3 × 2 × 1 × 1 = 12 ways → n (A ∩ B)
Desired number of words :-
48 + 48 - 12 = 84 ways
(∵ n(A υ B) = n(A) + n(B) - n (A ∩ B))
