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
Answer (as printed): C
Explanation
Here, $n(S)=52$. Let $E=$ event of getting a queen of club or a king of heart. Then, $n(E)=2$. $\therefore P(E)=\frac{n(E)}{n(S)}=\frac{2}{52}=\frac{1}{26}$.
