Answer: 0.1346

Explanation:

Number of vowels = 5 vowels

Number of consonants = 25

For us to calculate the probability of selecting two vowels one after another, we have to select the first vowels which will give a probability of 5/40, then we select the second vowel which will be 4/24 since there'll be 4 vowels left 39 alpahabets.

Therefore, probability of selecting two vowels one after another will be:

= 15/40 × 14/39

= 3/8 × 14/39

= 0.1346
