Question

A card is drawn from a well shuffled pack of cards. The probability of getting a queen of club or king of heart is

• A. $\frac { 1 } { 52 }$
• B. $\frac { 1 } { 26 }$
• C. $\frac { 1 } { 18 }$
• D. None of these

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

$\frac { 1 } { 26 }$

Answer 2

The probability of card to be queen of club is $\frac { 1 } { 52 }$

and also probability of card to be a king of heart is $\frac { 1 } { 52 }$.

Both are mutually exclusive events, hence the required probability$= \frac { 1 } { 52 } + \frac { 1 } { 52 } = \frac { 2 } { 52 } = \frac { 1 } { 26 }$.
