उत्तर

Let E1, E2, E3, E4 and A be the event defined as below:

E1 = the missing card is a heart card
E2 = the missing card is a spade card
E3 = the missing card is a club card
E4 = the missing card is a diamond card
A = drawing three spade cards from the remaining cards

Now, we have the following:

`P(E_1)=13/52=1/4`

`P(E_2)=13/52=1/4`

`P(E_3)=13/52=1/4`

`P(E_4)=13/52=1/4`

`P(A/E_1)=(""^13C_3)/(""^51C_3)`

`P(A/E_2)=(""^12C_3)/(""^51C_3)`

`P(A/E_3)=(""^13C_3)/(""^51C_3)`

`P(A/E_4)=(""^13C_3)/(""^51C_3)`

By Bayes Theorem, we have:
Required probability =
`P(E_2/A)`

`=(P(E_1)P(A/E_2))/(P(A/E_1)E_1+P(A/E_2)E_2+P(A/E_3)E_3+P(A/E_4)E_4)`

`=(1/4xx(""^13C_3)/(""^51C_3))/((""^13C_3)/(""^51C_3)xx1/4+(""^12C_3)/(""^51C_3)xx1/4+(""^13C_3)/(""^51C_3)xx1/4+(""^13C_3)/(""^51C_3)xx1/4)`

`=(""^12C_3)/(""^12C_3+3xx""^13C_3)`

`=220/(220+286xx3)=110/539`
