my effort for this question is



I am selecting $4$ consonants from $12$ available consonants and $3$ from $4$ available vowels. After selecting $4$ consonants and $3$ vowels now I have $7$ letters in my hand now I am permuting them all with $7!$.
So the total number of words can be made is $12choose44choose37!$.



But the answer is $12choose44choose3$.



I would appreciate if anyone advises on this question.

  • Weird, at least for me it seems your answer is correct. Maybe the given answer assumes that the consonants need to stay in their own cluster before a cluster of vowels. Odd.

I think you are correct



To take a simpler example, with two consonants from three $R,S,T$ and one vowel from two $A,I$, there are $3C2 cdot 2C1 cdot 3! = 36$ possibilities namely $$RSA, RSI,STA,STI,TRA,TRI,SRA,SRI,TSA,TSI,RTA,RTI,$$ $$RAS, RIS,SAT,SIT,TAR,TIR,SAR,SIR,TAS,TIS,RAT,RIT,$$ $$ARS, IRS,AST,IST,ATR,ITR,ASR,ISR,TSA,ITS,ART,IRT$$



not $3P2 cdot 2P1 = 12$, which would just be the first row in my example of having all the consonants first and then all the vowels
