here total 12 letters...
no. of t = 2
no. of r = 2
no. of o = 2
and others are single.
No. of different vowels = 3 (i,o and e)
no. of ways to arrange 11 letters when 'I' at first place = 11!/ [2! * 2! * 2!]
= 4989600
no. of ways to arrange 11 letters when 'O' at first place = 11!/ [2! * 2! ]
= 9979200
no. of ways when 'E' at first place = 11!/ [2! * 2! * 2!]
= 4989600
total no. of ways when vowel at the first letter = 4989600 + 9979200 + 4989600
= 19958400
