    Explanation

    In the word 'CORPORATION', we treat the vowels OOAIO as one letter. Thus, we have CRPRTN (OOAIO). This has 7 (6 + 1) letters of which R occurs 2 times and the rest are different. Number of ways arranging these letters =7!/ 2!= 2520. Now, 5 vowels in which O occurs 3 times and the rest are different, can be arranged In 5!/ 3! = 20 ways. Required number of ways = (2520 x 20) = 50400.
