    C 37440 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 36240 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 38560 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    If we take all the vowels to be a single letter, then

    Total number of letters = 5 [EUIO is taken as a single letter]

    Number of ways of arranging with all the vowels together = 5! ├Ч 4! = 120 ├Ч 24 = 2880

    Number of ways of arranging without any condition = 8! = 40320

    So, number of ways the word can be arranged so that all the vowels never occur together = 40320 тАУ 2880 = 37440
