Explanation opens after your attempt
Correct Answer

B. (604800)

Step 1

Concept

Among total (10!) arrangements, the (3!) relative orders of the three special objects are equally likely, so the count is \(\frac{10!}{3!}\). If relative order is fixed, divide by that group's factorial.

In arrangements of the letters of (SELECTION), how many have all vowels together?

Explanation opens after your attempt
Correct Answer

A. (14400)

Step 1

Concept

B. (181440)

Step 1

Concept

In total (9!) orders, the two relative orders of captain and goalkeeper are equally likely, so half are valid. If relative order is fixed, divide by (2).

Step 2

Why this answer is correct

The correct answer is B. (181440). In total (9!) orders, the two relative orders of captain and goalkeeper are equally likely, so half are valid. If relative order is fixed, divide by (2).
