Question

A card is drawn at random from a well-shuffled pack of 52 cards. What is the probability of getting a two of hearts or a two of diamonds?

Options

• `3/26`

• `2/17`

• `1/26`

• `4/13`

Answer 1

`2/17`

Explanation:

Required probability = `(""^13C_2+""^13C_2)/(""^52C_2)`

= `(78+78)/1326`

= `156/1326`

= `6/51=2/17`
