Find the number of letters from the word MAXIMUM where two consonants cannot occur. (Permutation)​

4!

Step-by-step explanation:

In word MAXIMUM, consonants are M & X. According to the question itself, consonants should not occur together.

So, we have to put vowels at each even position; only then the condition will be satisfied.

We can put this in 3! ways (permutations of A, I & U).  

For odd positions we can put 3-M's & a X. Total ways is 4!/3!   (as repetitions of M).

Hence, the answer is 4!/3! x 3! = 24 ways.  

24=4!.

for ex: the reciprocal of 3/4 is 4/3. it is the opposite.

reciprocal definition:

a mathematical expression or function so related to another that their product is one; the quantity obtained by dividing the number one by a given quantity.

-2x + 7 = 7

subtract 7 from both sides.

-2x = 0

divide both sides by -2.

x = 0
