    B)                        128

    C)                        24                                          

    D)                        72

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    There are 2 vowels and 4 consonants in the letters a, b, c, d, e,f. If we select one vowel, then number of arrangements \[{{=}^{2}}{{C}_{1}}{{\times }^{4}}{{C}_{2}}\times 3!=2\times \frac{4\times 3}{2}\times 3\times 2=72\] If we select two vowels, then number of arrangements\[{{=}^{2}}{{C}_{2}}{{\times }^{4}}{{C}_{1}}\times 3!=1\times 4\times 6=24\] Hence, total number of arrangements \[=\text{72}+\text{24}=\text{96}\]
