Two identical pack of cards A and B are shuffled
thoroughly. One card is picked from A and shuffled with B.
The top card from pack A is turned up. If this is the Queen
of Hearts, what are the chances that the top card in B will
be the King of Hearts?
Answer / guest
52 / 2703
There are two cases to be considered.
CASE 1 : King of Hearts is drawn from Pack A and shuffled
with Pack B
Probability of drawing King of Hearts from Pack A = 1/51
(as Queen of Hearts is not to be drawn)
Probability of having King of Hearts on the top of the Pack
B = 2/53
So total probability of case 1 = (1/51) * (2/53) = 2 / (51
* 53)
CASE 2 : King of Hearts is not drawn from Pack A
Probability of not drawing King of Hearts from Pack A =
50/51 (as Queen of Hearts is not to be drawn)
Probability of having King of Hearts on the top of the Pack
B = 1/53
So total probability of case 2 = (50/51) * (1/53) = 50 /
(51 * 53)
Now adding both the probability, the required probability
is
= 2 / (51 * 53) + 50 / (51 * 53)
= 52 / (51 * 53)
= 52 / 2703
= 0.0192378

Ali Baba had four sons, to whom he bequeathed his 39 camels, with the proviso that the legacy be divided in the following way : The oldest son was to receive one half the property, the next a quarter, the third an eighth and the youngest one tenth. The four brothers were at a loss as how to divide the inheritance among themselves without cutting up a camel, until a stranger appeared upon the scene. Dismounting from his camel, he asked if he might help, for he knew just what to do. The brothers gratefully accepted his offer. Adding his own camel to Ali Baba's 39, he divided the 40 as per the will. The oldest son received 20, the next 10, the third 5 and the youngest 4. One camel remained : this was his, which he mounted and rode away. Scratching their heads in amazement, they started calculating. The oldest thought : is not 20 greater than the half of 39? Someone must have received less than his proper share ! But each brother discovered that he had received more than his due. How is it possible?
