A deck of 52 cards has 4 suits of 13 each: "clubs ♣, diamonds. , hearts ♥ and spades ♠".
The 13 cards are: ace, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, jack, queen, and king.
Probability of drawing a 2 = 4/52.
Probability of drawing an Ace = 4/51. (because there is no replacement so total card count reduced to 51).
Probability of drawing a 2 and an Ace = 4/52 * 4/51 = 4/663 i.e. Option D.
