Question

A single letter is selected at random from the word “Probability”. The probability that the selected letter is a vowel is

• A. $\frac{2}{11}$
• B. $\frac{3}{11}$
• C. $\frac{4}{11}$
• D. $0$

Answer 1

The correct option is C

$\frac{4}{11}$

Explanation for the correct option:

Total number of alphabets in “Probability” $=11$

Vowels in “Probability” are ‘o’, ‘a’, ‘i’, ‘i’.

Number of vowels in “Probability” $=4$

Now, we can select 4 vowels at random.

Therefore, the favorable outcomes $=4$

Thus, the probability of getting a vowel at random $=\frac{4}{11}$

Hence, Option ‘C’ is Correct.
