Question

From a well shuffled standard pack of $52$ playing cards, one card is drawn. What is the probability that it is either a King of hearts or a Queen of diamonds.

• A. $\frac{1}{2}$
• B. $\frac{1}{4}$
• C. $\frac{1}{8}$
• D. $\frac{1}{26}$

Answer 1

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

No. of Kings of heart $=$ 1, No. of Queen of diamonds $=$1
Probability of king of hearts or queen of diamonds $=\frac{1}{52}+\frac{1}{52}=\frac{2}{52}=\frac{1}{26}$
