Two cards are drawn from a pack of well shuffled cards. Find the probability that one is a club and other in King

Correct Answer: 1/26

Explanation:

Let X be the event that cards are in a club which is not king and other is the king of club.
Let Y be the event that one is any club card and other is a non-club king.
Hence, required probability:
=P(A)+P(B)


 


= 12 C 1 * 1 C 1 52 C 2 + 13 C 1 * 3 C 1 52 C 2


 


= 12 * 2 52 * 51 + 13 * 3 * 2 52 * 51 24 + 78 52 * 51  =  1 26
