Question 118 (i)

Language Application
Given below are few mathematical terms.
Find
The ratio of consonants to vowels in each of the terms.

Answer 1

In mathematical term "Hypotenuse".
Number of consonants = 6, i.e. (h, y, p. t. n, s)
Number of vowels = 4, i.e. (o, e, u, e)
Ratio of consonants to vowels$=\frac{Numberofconsonants}{Numberofvowels}=\frac{6}{4}=\frac{3}{2}$
Hence, ratio is 3:2,
In mathematical term 'Congruence,"
Number of consonants =6, i.e. (c, n, g, r, n, c}
Number of vowels = 4, I.e. (o, u, e, e)
Number of consonants $=\frac{Ratioofconsonants}{Numberofvowels}=\frac{6}{4}=\frac{3}{2}$
Hence, ratio is 3:2.
In mathematical term "Perpendicular",
Number of Consonants = 8, i.e. (p, r, p, n, d, c, I, r)
Number of vowels = 5, i.e. (e, e. i. u, a)
Ratio of consonants to vowels $=\frac{Numberofconsonants}{Numberofvowels}=\frac{8}{5}$
Hence ratio is 8 : 5.
In mathematical term "Transversar",
Number of consonants = 8, i.e. ( t, r, n, s, v, r, s, I)
Number of vowels = 3 i.e. (a, e, a)
Ratio of consonants to vowels $\frac{Numberofconsonants}{Numberofvowels}=\frac{8}{3}$
Hence, ratio is 8 : 3
In mathematical term "Correspondence".
Number of consonants = 9. i.e. (c, r, r, s, p, n, d, n, c) Number of vowels = 5, i.e. (o, e, o, e, e)
Ratio of consonants to vowels $=\frac{Numberofconsonants}{Numberofvowels}=\frac{9}{5}$
Hence, ratio is 9 : 5.
