One card is selected from a well-shuffled deck of 52 cards. Find the probability of getting

a king of red colour

There are total 52 cards in a pack of cards.

⇒ There are 4 kings in which 2 kings are red color.


⇒ Total outcomes = 52


⇒ Favourable outcomes = 2 (∵ only 2 kings are of red color)


⇒ Probability of selection out a red king from a deck of cards –


⇒ P(a red king) =


⇒ P(a red king) =


⇒ P(a red king) =


∴ Probability of getting a red king is
