Question

What is the probability of getting a king or a queen in a single draw from a pack of 52 cards ?

• A. $\frac{1}{26}$
• B. $\frac{1}{13}$
• C. $\frac{2}{13}$
• D. none

Answer 1

The correct option is C $\frac{2}{13}$

Since, Total cards $=$ $52$
No. of kings $=$ $4$
No. of queens $=$ $4$
No. of favorable cards that are king or queen $=$ $8$
$\therefore$ Required probability = $\frac{8}{52}=\frac{2}{13}$
$\therefore$ Option C is correct.
