In shuffling a pack of 52 playing cards, four are accidently dropped, find the chance that the missing cards should be one from each suit

given: pack of 52 cards from which 4 are dropped


formula:


we have to find the probability that the missing cards should be one from each suit


since from well shuffled pack of cards, 4 cards missed out total possible outcomes are


n(S)= 52C4


=270725


let E be the event that four missing cards are from each suite


n(E)= 13C1×13C1×13C1×13C1=134
