Four cards are drawn at random from a pack of playing cards. The probability of getting exactly two cards from the same suit and the remaining two cards from two different suits is
  1. 72×169425×49
  2. 24×169425×49
  3. 18×169425×49
  4. 6×169425×49

Solution

We have 52 pack of cards.

Now, for the favourable case we will select any suit and pick two cards from that, and then we will select another suit from the remaining 3 suits and pick two cards.

Favourable ways=C14×C213×C23×C113×C113.

Total ways=C452.

Required probability=C14×C213×C23×C113×C113C452
