A card is drawn from a pack of 52 cards. The probability of getting a queen of club or a king of heart is:

1 13
2 13
1 26
1 52

Correct Answer: 1 26

Explanation:

Here, n(S) = 52.

Let E = event of getting a queen of club or a king of heart.

Then, n(E) = 2.

∴ P(E) =	n(E)	=	2	=	1	.
	n(S)		52		26
