    Question

    In how many ways can we sort the letters of the word MANAGEMENT so that the comparative position of vowels and consonants remains the same as in MANAGEMENT.

    A.

    1280

    B.

    720

    C.

    960

    D.

    1080

    Correct option is D

    Given
    Word: MANAGEMENT
    Vowels: A, A, E, E (4 vowels)
    Consonants: M, N, G, M, N, T (6 consonants)

    Solution
    The relative positions must remain the same, meaning vowels stay in vowel spots and consonants in consonant spots.
    Arrangements of Vowels (A, A, E, E): 4!2!2!=244=6\frac{4!}{2!2!} = \frac{24}{4} = 6​​
    Arrangements of Consonants (M, N, G, M, N, T): 6!2!2!=7204=180\frac{6!}{2!2!} = \frac{720}{4} = 180​​
    Total ways = 6×180=1080 6 \times 180 = 1080​​

    Final Answer
    So the correct answer is (d)
