The word is 'LETTER'.
Consonants are L, T, R.
Vowels are E, E.
Total number of words (with or without meaning) from the letters of the word 'LETTER' is:
6! / (2! 2!) = 720 / 4 = 180.
Total number of words (with or without meaning) from the letters of the word 'LETTER' if vowels are together:
Treat (EE) as a single unit. We now arrange {L, T, R, (EE)}. This is 5 units.
Number of arrangements = 5! / 2! (for the two T's) = 120 / 2 = 60.
∴ The number of words where vowels are not together = Total words - Words with vowels together
Required = 180 - 60 = 120.
