How many words of 4 different letters can be formed out of 7 capital letters, 3 vowels and 5 consonants if each word starts with a capital letter and contains atleast 1 vowel?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not clear is it since we don't know if the capitals are consonants or vowels or mixed. weird problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A capitol letter can be either a vowel or a consonant.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you can consider capital letters as symbols.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So does the requirement of 1 vowel include the possibility for the capitol letter to be a vowel, or not?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Are you familiar with the permutation formula?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There is no relation of a symbol with vowels and consonants. All of the 3 are different types with no relation between them.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How many ways can you pick the first letter first of all?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in 7 ways

OpenStudy (anonymous):
