What is the number of ways of choosing 4 cards from a pack In how many of these (i) four cards are of the same suit? (ii) four card belong to four different suits?

Answer»

Given 52 cards → select 4 cards. 

(i) 4 cards are of same smit. ∴ total number of selection = [(13C4 + 13C4 + 13C4 + 13C4)/4]

= 4[13C4] = 4|13!/(4!x 9!)| = (4 x 13 x 12 x 11 x 10)/(4 x 3 x 2) = 2860

(ii) 4 cards are of different suits 

Total number of selection 

= 13C1 × 13C1 × 13C1 × 13C1 

= (134)4 = (13)4 = 28.561
