I am facing difficulty in solving the 18th Question from the above passage.
Attempt:
I have attempted it using principal of inclusion and exclusion.
Let n be the required number of ways.
$n = textTotal number of ways - Number of ways in which Os and Is are together$
$implies n = dfrac12!3!2!2! - dfrac11!2!3! - dfrac10!2!2!+ dfrac9!2!2! = 399 times 8!$
This gives $N = 399$ which is wrong. Can you please tell me why am I getting the wrong answer?

Your mistake is not noticing that the I's can be non-separated two different ways: We can have all three of them together as III, but we can also have II in one place and I in another.
One way to calculate how many ways this can happen is to think of one pair II as a single letter, and the third I as a separate letter, and count the number of words we can make. This will count each III case twice: Once as I II, and once as II I. So we have to subtract the number of such cases once.
With this correction, the final calculation becomes
$$
overbracefrac12!3!2!2!^textAll words - overbracefrac11!3!2!^textO's not separate - overbraceleft(underbracefrac11!2!2!_textII and I - underbracefrac10!2!2!_textIIIright)^textI's not separate + overbraceleft(underbracefrac10!2!_textOO, II and I - underbracefrac9!2!_textOO and IIIright)^textNeither O's nor I's separate
$$
which turns out to be $8!cdot 228$.

The letter $I$ appears three times. You have calculated the number of ways to arrange the letters so that the three copies of $I$ aren't all in the same place (and also the two $O$s are separated). However, "separated" here means that no two of them are together. Your count includes such "words" as STIILOCATINO, which should be excluded.
$endgroup$

How did you get each of the terms of $n$?
$frac12!3!2!2!$ : The number of ways of arranging the letters of SOLICITATION.
$frac11!2!3!$ : The number of ways in which the two $O$s can be together in SOLICITATION.
$frac10!2!2!$ : The number of ways in which the three $I$s can be together in SOLICITATION.
$frac9!2!2!$ : The number of ways in which the three $I$s and two $O$s can be together in SOLICITATION.
Well , the problem is this : the complement of this case, also includes the case where two $I$s can be together and the third can be separate. You have not neglected this case, and that's why you have an answer larger than the given answer.
