Determine the number of 5 card combinations out of a deck of 52 cards if there is exactly one ace in each combination.
Given: a deck of 52 cards
There are 4 Ace cards in a deck of 52 cards.
According to question, we need to select 1 Ace card out the 4 Ace cards
∴ No. Of ways to select 1 Ace from 4 Ace cards is 4C1
⇒ More 4 cards are to be selected now from 48 cards (52 cards – 4 Ace cards)
∴ No. Of ways to select 4 cards from 48 cards is 48C4
∴ Total number of ways = 4C1 × 48C4
⇒ 4C1 × 48C4 =
⇒ 4C1 × 48C4 =
∴ Number of 5 card combinations out of a deck of 52 cards if there is exactly one ace in each combination 778320.
