    Explanation

    We have n(s) = 52 c 2 52 = 52*51/2*1= 1326. Let A = event of getting both black cards B = event of getting both queens A∩B = event of getting queen of black cards n(A) = 52×512×1\frac{52\times51}{2\times1} = 26 c 2 = 325, n(B)= 26×252×1\frac{26\times25}{2\times1}= 4*3/2*1= 6  and n(A∩B) = 4 c 2 = 1 P(A) = n(A)/n(S) = 325/1326; P(B) = n(B)/n(S) = 6/1326 and P(A∩B) = n(A∩B)/n(S) = 1/1326 P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B) = (325+6-1) / 1326 = 330/1326 = 55/221
