First we calculate how the arrangement will be made. For example CCVCCV or CVVCCC, etc. There are 6C2 places to choose to put vowels. That leaves 4C4 = 1 way to put consonants. For each of those we can choose and position 4 consonants 21P4 ways. For each of those we can choose and position 2 vowels 5P2 ways. Answer: (6C2)(4C4)(21P4)(5P2) = (12)(1)(143640)(20) = 34473600 Edwin
