Question

From a deck of 52 playing cards, King, Ace and 10 of Clubs were removed and remaining cards were well shuffled. If a card is drawn at random from the remaining, find the probability of getting a card of 

i) Club 

ii) Ace 

iii) Diamond king 

iv) Club 5.

Answer 1

Total number of possible outcomes = 52 – 3 = 49 

(i) Probability of getting a card of club 

Number of favourable outcomes

\(=\frac{10}{49}\)

(ii) Probability of getting a card of ace = \(\frac{3}{49}\)

(iii) Probability of getting a card of diamond king = \(\frac{1}{49}\)

(iv) Probability of getting a card of club 5 = \(\frac{1}{49}\)
