    Answer : Option C

    Explanation :

    The word 'LEADING' has 7 different letters.

     

    When the vowels EAI are always together, they can be supposed to form one letter.

     

    Then, we have to arrange the letters LNDG (EAI).

     

     Now, 5 (4 + 1 = 5) letters can be arranged in 5! = 120 ways.

     

     The vowels (EAI) can be arranged among themselves in 3! = 6 ways.

     

      Required number of ways = (120 x 6) = 720.
