    B 720 ways Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 360 ways Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 4320 ways Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 1440 ways Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The word SURGICAL contains 8 different letters When the vowels ‘UIA’ are always together, they can be supposed to form one letter Then, we have to arrange the letters SRGCL(UIA) Now 6 letters can be arranged in 6! = 720 ways The vowels (UIA) can be arranged among themselves in 3! = 6 ways ∴ Required number of ways = 720 × 6 = 4320 ways.
