Solution

The correct option is B $\frac{5}{26}$
We know that -
Probability = $\frac{N u m b e r o f f a v o u r a b l e o u t c o m e s}{T o t a l n u m b e r o f o u t c o m e s}$
Total number of alphabets -
A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J , K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y and Z = 26.

Favourable number of outcomes - A, E, I, O and U = 5

P (letter being a vowel) = $\frac{5}{26}$
