13.A card from a pack of 52 cards is lost. From the remaining cards of the pack, two cards are drawn and are found to be both diamonds. Find the probability of the lost card being a diamond.

hi
ans 13
one card is lost n from 51 remaining cards 2 cards are drawn thats means out of 13 diamond cards already 2 diamonds cards are drawn
so remaining 11 diamond cards are there....
so 1 card missing card must be out of those 11 cards so prob of that missing card is 1/11.
ans is 1/11
