Given TECHNOLOGY , find number of distinguishable ways the letters can be arranged in which letters T,E and N are together
This is my working-
$3! cdot frac{7!}{2!} $
is this correct ?

Solutions to such exercises should usually be presented in such a way that one can understand how you reached the answer, i.e. you should explain how you got that particular number, instead of just presenting the final answer.

Be careful. TECHNOLOGY has ten letters, so you have a block of three letters and seven other letters to arrange.

I won't give the exact answer as then I'm unsure of the answer's helpfulness for other counting-type questions, but I hope that asking the following questions will lead you to the correct answer:
- Can you explain your working for getting the 7!, 3! and 2! ?
- Will using 7! include the possibilities where T, E, N are together but are located elsewhere?
- In how many positions can the group of three letters be placed together?
- Does using 7! account for all of these positions?
Perhaps these questions will lead you to the correct solution.

Consider $text{TEN}$ together as a block and all other letters as single block. Then you have $8$ blocks. So there are $8!$ permutations possible and $3!$ permutations of $TEN$. Also the letter $text{O}$ is not distinguishable.
So total number of ways is $dfrac{8!cdot 3!}{2!}$.

Assume $T,E, N $ as single letter therefore, total number of letters in the word technology is 8 this can be arranged in $8!$ ways and number of ways in which $T,E, N$ can be arranged $3!$ ways and since $O$ is repeating two times hence answer is $frac{8!×3!}{2!}$.
