(a) (i) Number of consonants in Hypotenuse =6

Number of vowels in Hypotenuse =4

Hence, required ratio =

4

6

=

2

3

i.e.3:2

(ii) Number of consonants in Congruence =6

Number of vowels in Congruence =4

Hence, required ratio =

4

6

=

2

3

i.e.3:2

(iii) Number of consonants in Perpendicular =8

Number of vowels in Perpendicular =5

Hence, required ratio =

5

8

i.e.8:5

(iv) Number of consonants in Transversal =8

Number of vowels in Transversal =3

Hence, required ratio =

3

8

i.e.8:3

(v) Number of consonants in Correspondence =9

Number of vowels in Correspondence =5

Hence, required ratio =

5

9

i.e.9:5

(b) (i) Percentage of consonants in Hypotenuse

=

10

×100=60%

(ii) Percentage of consonants in Congruence

=

×100=60%

(iii) Percentage of consonants in Perpendicular

=

8

×100=61.53%

(iv) Percentage of consonants in Transversal

=

×100=72.72%

(v) Percentage of consonants in Correspondence

=
