A card is drawn from a pack of 52 cards. The probability of getting a queen of club or a king of heart is:

A. $$\frac{{1}}{{13}}$$

B. $$\frac{{2}}{{13}}$$

C. $$\frac{{1}}{{26}}$$

D. $$\frac{{1}}{{52}}$$

Answer: Option C

Solution (By Examveda Team)

Here, n(S) = 52
Let E = event of getting a queen of club or a king of heart
Then, n(E) = 2
$$\eqalign{ & \therefore P\left( E \right) = \frac{{n\left( E \right)}}{{n\left( S \right)}} \cr & = \frac{2}{{52}} \cr & = \frac{1}{{26}} \cr} $$
