Question

Two cards are drawn out randomly from a pack of 52 cards one after the other, without replacement. The probability of first card being a king and second card not being a king is:

Options

• `48/663`

• `24/663`

• `12/663`

• `4/663`

Answer 1

`48/663`

Explanation:

In a pack of cards, there are 52 cards.

The number of kings in a pack = 4

Number of cards without kings = 48

So, the probability that the first card is a king and second is not a king

= `4/52 xx 48/51` ......(without replacement)

= `48/663`
