Question

Two cards are drawn at random from a pack of 52 cards. The probability that both are the cards of spade is

• A. $\frac { 1 } { 26 }$
• B. $\frac { 1 } { 4 }$
• C. $\frac { 1 } { 17 }$
• D. None of these

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$\frac { 1 } { 17 }$

Answer 2

Required probability $= \frac { { } ^ { 13 } C _ { 2 } } { { } ^ { 52 } C _ { 2 } } = \frac { 13.12 } { 52.51 } = \frac { 1 } { 17 }$.
