Abstract: R. K"ustner proved in his 2002 paper that the function $w_{a,b,c}(z)=$ $F(a+1,b;c;z)/F(a,b;c;z)$ maps the unit disk $|z|<1$ onto a domain convex in the direction of the imaginary axis under some condition on the real parameters $a,b,c.$ Here $F(a,b;c;z)$ stands for the Gaussian hypergeometric function. In this paper, we study the order of convexity of $w_{a,b,c}.$ In particular, we partially solve the problem raised by the afore-mentioned paper by K"ustner.
