    Solution

    In the word “INCORPORATION”, we treat the vowels IOOAIO as one letter Thus, we have, NCRPRTN (IOOAIO) This has 8(7+1) letters of which R and N occurs 2 times and the rest are different Number of ways arranging these letters = 8!/(2! ×2!) = 10080 Now, 6 vowels in which O occurs 3 times and I occurs 2 times, can be arranged in 6!/(3! ×2!) = 60 ∴ Required number of ways = 10080 × 60 = 604800
