Question

In how many ways can 3 diamond cards be drawn simultaneously from a pack of cards?

• A. $78$
• B. $1716$
• C. $286$
• D. $13$

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$286$

Pack of cards $52$

Diamond cards are $13$

To select $3$ cards

Total number of choices =${}^{13}{C}_3$

$=\frac{13\times 12\times 11}{3\times 2\times 1}=143\times 2=286$

Hence $286$ ways are possible and is a correct answer.
