Explanation:
Total letters in word 'COUNTING'=8
Number of vowels in word 'COUNTING'=3(O,U,I)
Total letter in word 'PRIME'=5
Number of consonants in word 'PRIME'=3(P,R,M)
We have to find the total number of outcomes.
Number of choice for O=3(P,R,M)
Number of choice for U=3(P,R,M)
Number of choice for i=3(P,R,M)
Number of outcomes of choosing a vowel from the word 'COUNTING' and a consonant from the word 'PRIME'=3+3+3
Total number of outcome=9
