Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Answer: 60
Explanation:
Choose 3 consonants from the 5 available: C(5,3) = 10.
Choose 2 vowels from the 4 available: C(4,2) = 6.
Total selections (without ordering) = 10 × 6 = 60.
Note: If the problem had asked for ordered 5-letter words (arrangements) using those chosen letters, multiply by 5! to get 60 × 120 = 7200. The provided options indicate the intended interpretation is selection without ordering.
