Question

One card is drawn from a pack of 52 cards. The probability that it is a king or diamond is

• A. $\frac { 1 } { 26 }$
• B. $\frac { 3 } { 26 }$
• C. $\frac { 4 } { 13 }$
• D. $\frac { 3 } { 13 }$

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$\frac { 4 } { 13 }$

Answer 2

Required probability $= \frac { 16 } { 52 } = \frac { 4 } { 13 }$

(Since diamond has 13 cards including a king and there are another 3 kings).
