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

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

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

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Since two cards are drawn successively with replacement, we get
\(P(X=1)=2 \times \frac{{ }^4 C_1 \times{ }^{48} C_1}{{ }^{52} C_1 \times{ }^{52} C_1}=2 \times \frac{4 \times 48}{52 \times 52}=\frac{24}{169}\)
\(\begin{aligned} & P(X=2)=\frac{{ }^4 C_1 \times{ }^4 C_1}{{ }^{52} C_1 \times{ }^{51} C_1}=\frac{4 \times 4}{52 \times 52}=\frac{1}{169} \\ \therefore \quad & P(X=1)+P(X=2)=\frac{25}{169}\end{aligned}\)
