Question

A card is drawn at random from a pack of $52$ cards. Find the probability that the card drawn is a red king.

• A. $\frac{1}{26}$
• B. $\frac{1}{13}$
• C. $\frac{2}{13}$
• D. $\frac{1}{4}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $\frac{1}{26}$

Total cards in pack $=52$

Number of red kings $=2$

So, the probability of card drawn is a red king is $\text{P(K)}=\frac{\text{Number of favourable outcome}}{\text{Total number of outcome}}$

$\Rightarrow \text{P(K)}=\frac{2}{52}=\frac{1}{26}.$
