  • Options
  • A. 3/7
  • B. 1/2
  • C. 2/11
  • D. None of the these

  • Correct Answer
  • None of the these 

    Explanation

    Total number of possible outcomes
    = n(S) = 12C2 = (12 x 11)/2 = 66

    Total number of favorable events
    = n(E) = 4C2
    = (4 x 3) / (2 x 1) = 6
    ? Required probability = 6/66 = 1/11
