Let \(\mathrm{E} _1\) be the event that the drawn card is a diamond, \(E_ 2\) be the event that the drawn card is not a diamond, and \(\mathrm{A}\) be the event that the card is lost.
As we know, out of 52 cards, 13 cards are diamond and 39 cards are not diamond.
Then \(P\left(E_{1}\right)=\frac{13}{52}\) and \(P\left(E_{2}\right)=\frac{39}{52}\)
Now, when a diamond card is lost then there are 12 diamond cards out of total 51 cards.
Two diamond cards can be drawn out of 12 diamond cards in \({ }^{12} \mathrm{C}_{2}\) ways.
Similarly, two diamond cards can be drawn out of total 51 cards in \({ }^{51} C_{2}\) ways.
Then probability of getting two cards, when one diamond card is lost, is \(P\left(\frac{A }{E_{1}}\right)\).
Also \(P\left(A E_{f}\right)=\frac{{ }^{12} C_{2}}{{ }^{51} C_{2}}\)
Also \( P\left(\frac{A}{ E_{1}}\right)=\frac{{ }^{12} C_{2}}{{ }^{51} C_{2}} \)
\(=\frac{12 !}{2 ! \times 10 !} \times \frac{2 ! \times 49 !}{51 !} \)
\(=\frac{12 \times 11 \times 10 !}{2 \times 1 \times 10 !} \times \frac{2 \times 1 \times 49 !}{51 \times 50 \times 49 !} \)
\(=\frac{12 \times 11}{51 \times 50}\)
\(=\frac{22}{425}\)
Now, when not a diamond card is lost then there are 13 diamond cards out of total 51 cards.
Two diamond cards can be drawn out of 13 diamond cards in \({ }^{13} \mathrm{C}_{2}\) ways.
Similarly, two diamond cards can be drawn out of total 51 cards in \({ }^{51} \mathrm{C}_{2}\) ways.
Then probability of getting two cards, when card is lost which is not diamond, is \(P\left(\frac{A}{E_{2}}\right)\).
Also \( P\left(A E_{2}\right)=\frac{{ }^{13} C_{2}}{^{51} C_{2}}\)
\(=\frac{13 !}{2 ! \times 11 !} \times \frac{2 ! \times 49 !}{51 !} \)
\(=\frac{13 \times 12 \times 11 !}{2 \times 1 \times 10 !} \times \frac{2 \times 1 \times 49 !}{51 \times 50 \times 49 !}\)
\(=\frac{13 \times 12}{51 \times 50}\)
\(=\frac{26}{425}\)
