Two cards are drawn simultaneously from a well shuffled pack of 52 cards. If X denotes the number of Spades in two draws, then

Match the LIST-I with LIST-II

LIST-ILIST-II
A. P(X=0)P(X=0)I. 1
B. P(X=1)P(X=1)II. 1934\dfrac{19}{34}
C. P(X=2)P(X=2)III. 1334\dfrac{13}{34}
D. P(X<3)P(X<3)IV. 117\dfrac{1}{17}

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

With (522)=1326\binom{52}{2}=1326 equally likely pairs:

P(X=0)=(392)/1326=19/34P(X=0) = \binom{39}{2}/1326 = 19/34 (II).

P(X=1)=13×39/1326=13/34P(X=1) = 13\times39/1326 = 13/34 (III).

P(X=2)=(132)/1326=1/17P(X=2) = \binom{13}{2}/1326 = 1/17 (IV).

Since XX can only be 0,1,20,1,2, P(X<3)=1P(X<3)=1 (I).
