Best answer

Total number of ways in which all letters of the word GARDEN can be arranged = 6! = 720 

There are only two vowels in the word, A and E. 

First place A at the first place, E can be occupy any of the remaining 5 places. Total arrangements 5 × 41. 

When A in the second place, E can occupy any of 4 places 

So Total arrangements 4 × 41. 

Repeat this process until A occupies the last but one place. A cannot occupy the last place. 

∴ The total number of total arrangement is 

(5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1) × 41. 

15 × 24 = 360
