Question

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

Options:
A .  \(\frac{1}{15}\)
B .  \(\frac{25}{57}\)
C .  \(\frac{35}{256}\)
D .  \(\frac{1}{221}\)
Answer: Option D

Let S be the sample space.


Then, n(S) = 52C2 =  \(\frac{(52\times51)}{(2\times1)}\)   = 1326.


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


So, n(E) = 4C2 = \(\frac{(4\times3)}{(2\times1)}\)  = 6.


So, \(P(E) = \frac{n(E)}{n(S)}=\frac{6}{1326}=\frac{1}{221}.\)
