Correct Answer - Option 3 : 2160

Given:

The word is "GEOMETRY"

Concept Used:

n! = n(n - 1)(n - 2) ......3.2.1

Where,

n = positive integer

Calculation:

According to the question, we have

The total number of letters = G, E, O, M, E, T, R, Y

⇒ 8

Total vowels = E, O, E

⇒ 3

When all vowels come together,

The total letters will be = G, M, T, R, Y, (EOE)

⇒ 6

The total repeated letters = E, E

⇒ 2

Now, 

Required number of ways = (6! × 3!)/(2!)

⇒ {6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 × (3 × 2 × 1)}/(2 × 1)

⇒ 2160

∴ The 2160 word can be formed of the word "GEOMETRY" when vowels are always come together.
