A pack of cards has one card missing. Two cards are drawn randomly and are found to be spades. The probability that the missing card is not a spade, is :

Options

  1. A34\dfrac{3}{4}
  2. B52867\dfrac{52}{867}
  3. C3950\dfrac{39}{50}
  4. D22425\dfrac{22}{425}

Correct answer

C. 3950\dfrac{39}{50}

Step-by-step solution

E1{E}_{1} : Event denotes spade is missing

P(E1)=14;P(E¯1)=34P\left({E}_{1}\right) = \dfrac{1}{4}; P\left(\overset{¯}{E}1\right) = \dfrac{3}{4}

AA : Event drawn two cards are spade

P(AE1)=(C212C251),P(AE1¯)=(C213C251)P\left(\dfrac{A}{{E}_{1}}\right) = \left(\dfrac{C2 12}{C2 51}\right), P\left(A\overset{¯}{{E}_{1}}\right) = \left(\dfrac{C2 13}{C2 51}\right)

P(E1A)=34×(C213C251)14×(C212C251)+34×(C213C251)P\left(\dfrac{{E}_{1}}{A}\right) = \dfrac{\dfrac{3}{4} \times \left(\dfrac{C2 13}{C2 51}\right)}{\dfrac{1}{4} \times \left(\dfrac{C2 12}{C2 51}\right) + \dfrac{3}{4} \times \left(\dfrac{C2 13}{C2 51}\right)}=3950= \dfrac{39}{50}
