Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 14/325 

Given:

2 cards are picked randomly from 26 cards

Formula Used:

The number of ways of picking "r" cards from "n" total cards = nCr

Calculation:

Total numberd card in a pack of deck (2 - 10) = 9 × 2 = 18

Perfect squares that can be obtained by sum of numbers in a deck = 4, 9, 16

Sum of numbers on cards possible to get 4 = {(1,3) (2,2) (3,1)} = 3

Sum of numbers on cards possible to get 9 = {(2,7) (3,6) (4,5) (5,4) (6,3) (7,2)} = 6

Sum of numbers on cards possible to get 16 = {(6,10) (7,9) (9,7) (10,6) (8,8)} = 5

Number of favorable outcomes = 3 + 6 + 5 = 14

Total number of favorable outcomes = 26C2 = (26 × 25)/(2 × 1) = 325

∴ P(A) = 14/325 

∴ The probability that the sum of numbers on card is a perfect square number is 14/325
