      Solution

      The word โ€œAIRSTRIKEโ€™โ€™ contains 9 letters with 4 vowels, (A, 2I, 2R, S, T, K, E)

      If vowels comes together, then 4 vowels will behave as a single entity, so, remaining 5 consonants and this entity, a total of 6 letters will arrange themselves in 6! Ways, and 4 vowels will arrange themselves in

      (4!/2!) Ways, as there are 2I,

      So, total number of ways of arranging letters of the word โ€˜โ€œAIRSTRIKEโ€™โ€™ such that all the vowels always come together = (6!/2!) ร— (4!/2!) = 360 ร— 12 = 4320
