Answer

No. of kings in a pack of cards = 4 (1 of each suit)

No. of queens in a pack of cards = 4 (1 of each suit)

Total no. of cards in a pack of cards = 52

P(getting either a king or a queen) : No. of favourable outcomesTotal no. of possible outcomes=852=213\dfrac{\text{No. of favourable outcomes}}{\text{Total no. of possible outcomes}} = \dfrac{8}{52} = \dfrac{2}{13}.

Hence, Option 2 is the correct option.
