Question

Two cards are drawn at random from a deck of 52 cards without replacement. What is the probability of drawing a 2 and an Ace in that order?
A) 4/51
B) 1/13
C) 4/256
D) 4/663

Answer 1

Dear Student,

Answer: Option D

Solution:

As a deck of cards have 52 cards, out of which 4 are 2 numbered card.

The probability of getting a 2 = 4/52

= 1/13

Now possible outcomes left with 51 cards

Total cards of ACE = 4

The probability of getting an ACE number card = 4/51

probability of drawing a 2 and an Ace in that order = 1/13 x 4/51

= 4/663

Option D is correct.

Hope it helps you.
