    In shuffling a pack of playing cards, four are accidently dropped. The probability that the missing cards should be one from each suit, is:

    A) \[\frac{1}{{{\,}^{52}}{{C}_{4}}}\]                               

    B)  \[\frac{{{({{\,}^{13}}{{C}_{1}})}^{4}}}{{{\,}^{52}}{{C}_{4}}}\]       

    C)         \[\frac{{{({{\,}^{13}}{{C}_{2}})}^{2}}}{{{\,}^{52}}{{C}_{4}}}\]       

    D)         \[\frac{{{({{\,}^{13}}{{C}_{4}})}^{4}}}{{{\,}^{52}}{{C}_{4}}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    The total number of ways in which 4 cards can be selected out of 52 cards in \[{{\,}^{52}}{{C}_{4}}.\]There are four suits in a pack and in each suit contains 13 cards. Therefore the number of ways of selecting one card from each suit is \[{{({{\,}^{13}}{{C}_{1}})}^{4}}\] \[\therefore \]Required probability \[=\frac{({{\,}^{13}}{{C}_{1}})}{{{\,}^{52}}{{C}_{4}}}\]
