From a pack of 52 cards, two cards are drawn together at random. What is the probability of both the cards being kings?

Correct Answer: 1/221

Explanation:

 Let S be the sample space


 


Then, n(S) =  52 C 2 = 1326.


 


Let E = event of getting 2 kings out of 4.


 


n(E)  =  52 * 51 2 * 1 = 6.


  4 C 2


=> 4 * 3 2 * 1


P ( E ) = n ( E ) n ( S ) = 6 1326 = 1 221
