Answer : 2. "55/221"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 55/221 Explanation: n(S) = C252 = 1326 Let A = event of getting both red cards and B = event of getting both queens then A∩B = event of getting two red queens n(A) = C226 = 325, n(B) = C24 = 6 n(A∩B)=C22=1 ∴ PA=3251326, PB = 61326 PA∩B=11326 ∴P ( both red or both queens) = PA∪B = PA+PB-PA∩B=3251326+1221-11326=55221
