$7200$
Given that total number of vowels $= 4$
and number of consonants $= 5$
The total of words formed by $2$ vowels and $3$ consonents
$=\ ^4\text{C}_2\times\ ^5\text{C}_3$
$=\frac{4!}{2!\ 2!}\times\frac{5!}{3!\ 2!}$
$=\frac{4\times3\times2!}{2\times1\times2!}\times\frac{5\times4\times3!}{3!\times2}$
Now permutation of $2$ vowels and $3$ consonants $= 5! = 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1 = 120$
So, the total number of words $= 60 \times 120 = 7200.$
and number of consonants $= 5$
The total of words formed by $2$ vowels and $3$ consonents
$=\ ^4\text{C}_2\times\ ^5\text{C}_3$
$=\frac{4!}{2!\ 2!}\times\frac{5!}{3!\ 2!}$
$=\frac{4\times3\times2!}{2\times1\times2!}\times\frac{5\times4\times3!}{3!\times2}$
Now permutation of $2$ vowels and $3$ consonants $= 5! = 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1 = 120$
So, the total number of words $= 60 \times 120 = 7200.$
