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 =Â $$\frac{4}{52}$$
Probability that the card drawn is a black king =Â $$\frac{2}{52}$$
Therefore probability The card drawn is black or a king. = $$\frac{26}{52}$$ + $$\frac{4}{52}$$ - $$\frac{2}{52}$$ = $$\frac{28}{52}$$
For Y:-
Probability that the card drawn is a club card = $$\frac{13}{52}$$
Probability that the card drawn is a heart card =Â $$\frac{13}{52}$$
Probability that the card drawn is a jack =Â $$\frac{4}{52}$$Â
Probability that the card drawn is a jack of club or a jack of heart =Â $$\frac{2}{52}$$
Therefore probability The card drawn is a club or a heart or a jack  = $$\frac{13}{52}$$ + $$\frac{13}{52}$$ + $$\frac{4}{52}$$ - $$\frac{2}{52}$$ = $$\frac{28}{52}$$
For Z:-Â
Probability that the card drawn is a diamond card = $$\frac{13}{52}$$
Probability that the card drawn is an ace card =Â $$\frac{4}{52}$$Â
Probability that the card drawn is a queen card =Â $$\frac{4}{52}$$
Probability that the card drawn is a diamond card of ace or queen = $$\frac{2}{52}$$
Therefore the probability The card drawn is an ace or a diamond or a queen. =Â $$\frac{13}{52}$$ +Â $$\frac{4}{52}$$ +Â $$\frac{4}{52}$$ -Â $$\frac{2}{52}$$ =Â Â $$\frac{19}{52}$$Â
Therefore, $$P(X) = P(Y) > P(Z)$$Â
Therefore option C is the correct answer.
