Solution : The word 'LEADING ' has 7 different letters.
when the vowels EAI are always together , they can be supposed to form one letter.
then , we have to arrange the letters LNDG (EAI) .
Now , 5(4+1=5) letters can be arranged in 5! = 120 ways . the vowels (EAI) can be arranged among themselves in 3! = 6 ways.
`therefore ` Required number of ways `=(120 xx6)= 720`

The word 'LEADING' has 7 different letters.

When the vowels EAI are always together, they can be supposed to form one letter.

Then, we have to arrange the letters LNDG (EAI).

Now, 5 (4 + 1 = 5) letters can be arranged in 5! = 120 ways.

The vowels (EAI) can be arranged among themselves in 3! = 6 ways.

Required number of ways = (120 x 6) = 720.

=

7 x 6 x 5 x 6 x 5

+ (7C3 x 6C1) + (7C2)
3 x 2 x 1 2 x 1
= 525 +

7 x 6 x 5 x 6

+

7 x 6

3 x 2 x 1 2 x 1
