I know this example which solution is included in the textbook
But I don't understand how the 4p2 is applied as by definition this means that the number of permutations of 4 odd places taken by 2 vowels at a time, I mean this is not making sense to me .

there are 4 odd positions (1,3,5,7), and there are 2 vowels, so in total P(4, 2) = 12 ways
what do you not understand?
I m use to putting n distinct objects in in r blank spaces
Like putting in n distinct object in r spaces
But in this formula it's reverse so I m not able to digest
U tell me, if there are 3 spaces and 5 distinct objects are there, so how many ways we can places 5 objects in those 3 spaces
5p3 right?
Or 3p5?
4 odd places are spaces not objects
it's like there are 4 objects, and how many ways you can pick 2 of them (order matters)
