उत्तर
n(S) = 52
Let A be the event of getting a red king
n(A) = 2
P(A) = `("n"("A"))/("n"("S")) = 2/52`
Let B be the event of getting a black Queen king
n(B) = 2
P(B) = `("n"("B"))/("n"("S")) = 2/52`
It A and B are mutually exclusive
P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B)
= `2/52 + 2/52`
= `4/52`
= `1/13`
The required probability is `1/13`
