Question

One card is drawn from a pack of 52 cards. Then, the probability of getting a red coloured king is ___.

• A. $\frac{7}{13}$
• B. $\frac{3}{26}$
• C. $\frac{1}{26}$
• D. $\frac{1}{13}$

Answer 1

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

A card drawn will be red as well as a king if it is a red king. There are 2 red kings in a pack of 52 playing cards.
$\therefore$ number of outcomes we are interested in $=2$
Hence, required probability $=\frac{2}{52}=\frac{1}{26}$
