Answer

No. of letters in english alphabet = 26

Letters in the word 'DELHI' are 'D', 'E', 'L', 'H', 'I'.

∴ No. of favourable outcomes = 5

P(drawing a letter of the word 'DELHI')

= No. of favourable outcomesTotal no. of possible outcomes=526\dfrac{\text{No. of favourable outcomes}}{\text{Total no. of possible outcomes}} = \dfrac{5}{26}.

Hence, Option 2 is the correct option.
