Sience the cards are drawn at random, the drawing of each card is eually likely and mutually exclusive. In all there are 52 ways of drawing a card. Out of these 2 are favourable to the draw of a red king. Therefore the required probability is 2/52 i.e 1/26.

What's with the easy questions? 1 out of 26. There are two red kings in one deck.

i can't show the math but I think it is based on 51 unseen cards rather than 2 red kings in the deck -if you really need to know go to 2+2 publishing and MASON will have it in no time -he is MIT brainiac-lol I have a feeling you already know ,am I a little close
