Question:
[Section A]
A card is drawn at random from a well-shuffled deck of $52$ cards. The probability of getting a king of red colour is:
(a) 1/26
(b) 1/13
(c) 1/52
(d) 2/13
Step-by-Step Solution
Key Concept: Number of red kings $= 2$ (Hearts and Diamonds). $P = 2/52 = 1/26$.
$P(\text{Red King}) = \dfrac{2}{52} = \dfrac{1}{26}$. [1.0 Mark]
Correct Answer: (a) 1/26 (or 48/52 non-king variant)
