Question 1024006: How many words consisting of four consonants and 2 vowels can be
formed?

Answer by Edwin McCravy(20054)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
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
