Question 104

A card is drawn at random from a well shuffled pack of 52 cards.
X: The card drawn is black or a king.
Y: The card drawn is a club or a heart or a jack.
Z: The card drawn is an ace or a diamond or a queen.
Then which of the following is correct?

For X:-

Probability that the card drawn is a black card = $$\frac{26}{52}$$

Probability that the card drawn is a king =Β $$\frac{4}{52}$$

Probability that the card drawn is a black king =Β $$\frac{2}{52}$$

Therefore probabilityΒ The card drawn is black or a king. =Β $$\frac{26}{52}$$ +Β $$\frac{4}{52}$$ -Β $$\frac{2}{52}$$ =Β $$\frac{28}{52}$$

For Y:-

Probability that the card drawn is a club cardΒ  =Β $$\frac{13}{52}$$

Probability that the card drawn is a heart card =Β $$\frac{13}{52}$$

Probability that the card drawn is a jack =Β $$\frac{4}{52}$$Β 

Probability that the card drawn is a jack of club or a jack of heart =Β $$\frac{2}{52}$$

Therefore probabilityΒ The card drawn is a club or a heart or a jack Β =Β $$\frac{13}{52}$$ +Β $$\frac{13}{52}$$ +Β $$\frac{4}{52}$$ -Β $$\frac{2}{52}$$ =Β $$\frac{28}{52}$$

For Z:-Β 

Probability that the card drawn is a diamond cardΒ  =Β $$\frac{13}{52}$$

Probability that the card drawn is an ace card =Β $$\frac{4}{52}$$Β 

Probability that the card drawn is a queen card =Β $$\frac{4}{52}$$

Probability that the card drawn is a diamond cardΒ of ace or queen =Β $$\frac{2}{52}$$

Therefore the probability The card drawn is an ace or a diamond or a queen. =Β $$\frac{13}{52}$$ +Β $$\frac{4}{52}$$ +Β $$\frac{4}{52}$$ -Β $$\frac{2}{52}$$ =Β Β $$\frac{19}{52}$$Β 

Therefore,Β $$P(X) = P(Y) > P(Z)$$Β 

Therefore option C is the correct answer.
