The vowels are A, U and E.
 
a.
 
Considering three vowels as one letter, we have 6 letters, D, AUE, G, H, T, R
 
These six letters can be arranged in 6 P subscript 6 equals 6 factorial ways.
But the vowels can be put together in 3! ways.
 
Thus, the total number of arrangements equals 6 factorial cross times 3 factorial equals 720 cross times 6 equals 4320
 
b.
 
There are 8 letters in the word "DAUGHTER"
 
Thus, the total number of words formed by using all eight letters is 8 P subscript 8 equals 8 factorial equals 40320
Therefore, the total number of ways in which all vowels do not occur together
 
= Total number of words - Number of arrangements in which all vowels are together
 
=40320 - 4320 = 36000
