Options
- A7 221
- B5 221
- C8 221
- D9 221
Correct answer
C. 8 221
Step-by-step solution
Total number of cards in a standard pack = 52 Total number of ways to draw 2 cards = ⁵²C₂ = 52 51 2 = 1326 Number of face cards (Jack, Queen, King of each suit) = 4 3 = 12 Number of ace cards = 4 Number of ways to draw exactly one face card and exactly one ace card = ¹²C₁ ⁴C₁ = 12 4 = 48 Required probability = 48 1326 = 8 221 Answer: 8 221
