Solution

Word MATHEMATICS have $11$ alphabet so total possible outcomes are $11$ (M,A,T,H,E,M,A,T,I,C,S) and desired outcomes for M is $2$ .
$P r o b a b i l i t y = \frac{d e s i r e d o u t c o m e s}{t o t a l o u t c o m e s} = \frac{2}{11}$
Hence, the probability of getting M is $\frac{2}{11}$ .
