The letters of the word ‘CLIFTON’ are placed at random in a row. What is the chance that two vowels come together?

given: word “CLIFTON”

formula:


In the random arrangement of the alphabets of word “CLIFTON” we have to find the probability that vowels come together


total possible outcomes of arranging the alphabets are 7!


therefore n(S)=7!


let E be the event that vowels come together


number of vowels in SOCIAL is I, O


therefore, number of ways to arrange them so (I, O) come together


n(E)= 6! × 2!
