Solution

The correct option is B
$\frac{3}{8}$

Total number of letters in the word 'GEOMETRY' = 8

Number of vowels in the word = E, O, E

= 3

$∴$ The probability to get vowel = $\frac{N u m b e r o f f a v o u r a b l e o u t c o m e s}{T o t a l n u m b e r o f p o s s i b l e o u t c o m e s}$

= $\frac{Number of vowels}{Total number of letters}$

= $\frac{3}{8}$
