The word 'LEADING' has 7 different letters. When the vowels EAI are always together, they can be supposed to form one letter. Then, we have to arrange the letters LNDG (EAI). Now, 5 (4 + 1 = 5) letters can be arranged in 5!=120 ways. The vowels (EAI) can be arranged among themselves in 3!=6 ways. Required number of ways = 120 x 6 = 720.
