    Answer: a) 2401 b) 840 c) 343 d) 343 e) 686

    Step-by-step explanation:

    a) Total are 7 letters

    There are 4 possible places in 4-letter word for each of 7 letter.

    So total amount of the words is

    7*7*7*7 = 2401

    b) No letter can be repeated mens that in 1st place can stay any of 7 letters,

    in 2-nd place - any of 6 letters

    in 3-rd place - any of 5 letters

    in 4-th place any of 4 letters

    Total amount of words is

    7*6*5*4=840

    c) It is not written if the letters can be repeated. Assume that they can.

    1st place occupied by letter A. So at 2-nd, 3-rd and 4th places can stay any of 7 letters

    Total amount of words is

    1*7*7*7=343

    d) Similar case like c). At 1-st, 2-nd, 3-rd can stay any of 7 letters, and at 4th place the letter C (1 letter). Total amount of words is

    7*7*7*1=343

    e) There are 2 vowels A and E.

    So at 1st place can stay any of 7 letters, at 2-nd place - any of 2 letters, at 3-rd place - any of 7 letters and at 4th place any of 7 letters. Total amount of words is

    7*2*7*7=686
