Two cards are drawn successively with replacement from a well shuffled deck of \(52\) cards. Let \(X\) denote the random variable of number of aces obtained in the two drawn cards. Then \(P\,\left( {X = 1} \right)\, + P\,\left( {X = 2} \right)\) equals

  1. A \(\frac{{49}}{{169}}\)
  2. B \(\frac{{52}}{{169}}\)
  3. C \(\frac{{24}}{{169}}\)
  4. D \(\frac{{25}}{{169}}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{{25}}{{169}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(P(x=1)=\frac{4}{52} \times \frac{48}{52} \times 2=\frac{24}{169}\) \(P(x=2)=\frac{4}{52} \times \frac{4}{52}=\frac{1}{169}\) \(\Rightarrow P(x=1)+P(x+2)=\frac{25}{169}\)
