One card is drawn from a pack of 52 cards. What is the probability that the card drawn is either a red card or a king ?

A. $$\frac{1}{2}$$

B. $$\frac{6}{13}$$

C. $$\frac{7}{13}$$

D. $$\frac{27}{52}$$

Answer: Option C

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Here, n(S) = 52
There are 26 red cards (including 2 kings) and there are 2 more kings.
Let E = event of getting a red card or a king.
Then, n(E) = 28
$$\therefore P(E) = \frac{{n(E)}}{{n(S)}} = \frac{{28}}{{52}} = \frac{7}{{13}}$$
