Here's the Solution to this Question

There are 21 vowels.

We have 21!  ways of ordering these consonants.

There are a total of 22 valid locations for placing 5 vowels. Thus the number of ways of placing the 5 vowels in 5 of the 22 locations is^{22}P_5={22!\over17!}

By multiplication rule, the total number of orderings in which no two vowels occur consecutively equals, {22!\times 21!\over 17!}.
