Answer 1

This ques does a trick,all game is of the word ‘relative position' so,here relative position means we have to put vowels at there places only no matter in which order so,this could be done in 5! ways and so does with consonants that is 6! ways,but in PATALIPUTRA 'p' repeats 2 times 'A' 3 times and 'T' 2 times

so our final answer will be- (5!×6!)/(3!×2!×2!)=3600
