A card from a pack of 52 cards is lost. From the remaining cards of the pack, two cards are drawn and are found to be heart. Then the probability of the missing card to be a heart is:

  1. A \(\frac{14}{25}\)
  2. B \(\frac{ 1 1 }{ 2 5 }\)
  3. C \(\frac{39}{50}\)
  4. D \(\frac{11}{50}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{11}{50}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(P(\text{Lost card is Heart}) = \frac{13}{52} = \frac{1}{4}\) \(P(\text{Lost card is not Heart}) = \frac{39}{52} = \frac{3}{4}\) \(P(\text{2 Hearts drawn | Lost card is Heart}) = \frac{\binom{12}{2}}{\binom{51}{2}} = \frac{12 \times 11}{51 \times 50}\)…
