From a pack of 52 playing cards, two cards are drawn together at random. Calculate the probability of both the cards being king ?
-
- 1/15
- 25/57
- 35/256
- None of these
Correct Option: D
Two cards can be drawn from a pack of 52 playing cards in 52C2 ways. i,e., 52 x 51 / 2 = 1326 ways. The event that two kings appear in a single drawn of cards is 4C2 ways, i.e 6 ways.
∴ The probability that the two cards drawn from a pack of 52 cards are kings = 6/1326 = 1/221
