+400 How many ways can you write two different letters chosen from
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P
so that they are in alphabetical order, and the first letter is a vowel? For example, AF and EN count, but DE and KC do not.
0 There are 4 vowels and the rest 12 are consonants.
There are 4 cases:
CASE 1: A
If one picks A as the first letter then there are 15 more choises to pick.
Case 1 has 11 choises
CASE 2: E
the second letter must be anything starting from F meaning 11
CASE 3: I
there are 7 choises
CASE 4: O
there is only one choice which is P
Therefore
\(15+11+7+1=\boxed{34}\)
(NOTE: this is not counting AA, EE, II, AND OO. if so just add 4 to 34= 38)
