    Question

    Three cards are drawn one after another with replacement from a pack of cards. What is the probability of getting first card a Jack, second card a black card, and third card an even numbered card?

    A.

    25/26

    B.

      5/338

    C.

    20/338

    D.

    5/169

    Correct option is B

    Given:  

    Cards are drawn one after another with replacement.

    Concept Used:

    Concept of Probability;
    Probability, P(E)=Number of favourable outcomesTotal number of possible outcomes\text{Probability, } P(E) = \frac{\text{Number of favourable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of possible outcomes}}

    Where, P(E) = Probability of events,

    Solution:

    As per the question;

    Total number of cards in pack of cards = 52

    Total jack cards = 4

    Total black cards = 26

    Total even number of cards = 20

    Now,

    probability of getting first card a Jack = 452=113\frac{4}{52} = \frac{1}{13}

    probability of getting second card a black card with replacement = 2652=12 \frac{26}{52}=\frac{1}{2}

    probability of getting third card an even numbered card = 2052=513\frac{20}{52}=\frac{5}{13}

    required probability = 113×12×513=5338\frac{1}{13} \times \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{5}{13} = \frac{5}{338}
