    Answer : Option D

    Explanation :

    Let S be the sample space.

     

    Then, n(S) = 52C2 = \(\frac { (52*51) } {( 2 *1)} \)= 1326

     

    Let E = event of getting 2 kings out of 4.

     

     n(E) = 4C2 =\(\frac { (4*3)} {( 2 *1)} \) = 6

     

     P(E) =\(\frac {n(E) } { n(S) } \)=\(\frac { 6 } { 1326 } \)=\(\frac { 1 } { 221 } \)
