Cards are drawn one by one without replacement from a pack of $52$ cards. The probability that $10$ cards will precede the first ace is

A

$\frac{{241}}{{1456}}$

B

$\frac{{164}}{{4165}}$

C

$\frac{{451}}{{884}}$

D

None of these

Solution

(b) There are four aces and $48$ other cards.

Therefore the required probability

$ = \frac{{48 \cdot 47 \cdot …. \cdot 39}}{{52 \cdot 51 \cdot …. \cdot 43}}.\frac{4}{{42}} = \frac{{164}}{{4165}}.$
