Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{27}{65}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Total ways to choose 2 black cards: \( \binom{26}{2} = \frac{26 \times 25}{2} = 325 \). Ways to choose 2 black non-face cards (20 available): \( \binom{20}{2} = \frac{20 \times 19}{2} = 190 \). Ways to choose at least one black face card: \( 325 - 190 = 135 \). Probability:…
