Question
Two cards are drawn at random and one-by-one without replacement from a well-shuffled pack of 52 playing cards. Find the probability that one card is red and the other is black.

Answer

Given,
R = 26
B = 26
Required Probability $=\frac{26}{52}\times\frac{26}{51}+\frac{26}{52}\times\frac{26}{51}$
$=2\times\Big(\frac{26}{52}\times\frac{26}{51}\Big)$
$=\frac{26}{51}$
