(2*39+10*26+40*9)/52= 13.42
bhai yeh kaise kiya???

What I did was probablity of 2 red kings = 2/52
return on this = 2*39/52
for the black card = 2*26/52
for the rest = -(48*13/52)
Total value added all the three...
What is wrong with this??

P.S. : Bohot din baad dikhe es thread par..Good to see you back..:)

m gettin loss of 3.5


red king = 2/52=1/26

black honour = 10/52=5/26

others=40/52 =10/13

1/26*39 + 5/26*26 - 10/13*13

6.5-10 = -3.5

@Abir1103 I don't know how many red kings are there and what is an honour??

2 red kings

and honour cards are (A,K,Q,J,10) ,,5 honour card per suit
so black means dere will be 10 honour cards

I misread the question :embarrassed:

Honors card = A-J-Q-K
=> total number of honor cards =8
@Abir1103 said:

Honors card = A-J-Q-K
=> total number of honor cards =8

Hence, average =(2*39+8*26-42*13)/52= -5
He has to pay back 5 rupees.

As per @chevy a 10 is also an honour card
@chevy said:
10 is also called an honour card i guess
:nono: Sir

Honor cards are Ace, King, Queen, Jack
(10 is not an honor card).
