P(H or K)=(H+3K)/52  (there are thirteen hearts and three other kings)

P(HorK)=16/52

Answer: Option 'B' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of cards in a deck = 52

Number of heart = 13

Number of king = 4

But we know that heart contains one king too.

So, to avoid double counting we have to subtract 1 from it.

so, Number of king = 3

So, Probability that Sam picked a heart or a king is given by

[tex]\frac{13}{52}+\frac{3}{52}\\\\=\frac{16}{52}\\\\[/tex]

Hence, Option 'B' is correct.
