Since all the vowels and consonants have to be together there can only be there are 5! way to order the vowels and 4! to order the consonants. But they must be together either vowels come first or consonants so you multiply by 2.
So 5!4!2! (D)
So 5!4!2! (D)

EDUCATION has 5 vowels and 4 consonants. Thus per the question, we can have the following arrangement: VVVVVCCCC
Treating all vowels as 1 group and all consonants as 1 group, we get V C and this can be arranged in 2! ways. Also, the entire vowel group can be arranged in 5! ways (as all the vowels are different or as 5P5 = 5!). Similarly, the entire consonant group can be arranged in 4! ways (as all of them are different).
Thus, the total number of arrangements = 5!*4!*2! . Thus D is the correct answer.
