The probability that a card drawn from a pack of 52 cards will be a king or a diamond, is?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

Use P(A∪B)=P(A)+P(B)−P(A∩B)P(A\cup B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A\cap B). Kings: 4, diamonds: 13, king of diamonds counted twice: 1. Favourable =4+13−1=16=4+13-1=16, so probability =1652=413=\frac{16}{52}=\frac{4}{13}.
