Correct answer: C. 1/26
- A. 1/13
- B. 2/13
- C. 1/26
- D. 1/52
Explanation
There are two favourable cards, the queen of clubs and the king of hearts, out of 52 cards. Therefore the probability is 2/52 = 1/26. Students may choose 1/13 by treating the two named cards as if they formed one rank or suit group.
