Detailed Solution

It is given that, a pack of well shuffled cards.
We have to find the probability of drawing a red king or red queen.
The total number of cards is 52.
Total number of red king in a deck of cards =2  .
Total number of red queen in a deck of cards =2  .
The probability of drawing a red king or red queen is given by,
= Probability of drawing red king card + Probability of drawing queen card
= 2 52 + 2 52 = 4 52 = 1 13
