Solution 1
Total number of cards = 52
Number of red kings = 2
∴ P(getting a red king)
= `"Number of favourable outcome"/ "Number of all possible outcomes"`
= `2/52`
= `1/26 `
Thus, the probability of getting a red king is `1/26`.

Solution 2
Total no. of cards, n(S) = 52
Number of red kings, n(E) = 2
Prob. (getting a red king) = `(n(E))/(n(S))`
= `2/52`
= `1/26`
