    C 100 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 120 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Number of letters in ‘ENERGY’ = 6 Number of vowels = (E, E) = 2!/2! Number of consonants = (N, R, G, Y) = 4! Now, consider the number of vowels together as one and vowels can be arranged in 2! So total number of ways = 5! × (2!/2!) = 120
