      A 13/51 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      C 5/17 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 25/102 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      3 cards can be drawn from a pack of 52 cards in  52 C3  ways.

      1 black card can be drawn in  26 C1  ways and 2 red cards can be drawn in  26 C2  ways.

      Therefore, required probability = ( 26 C 1  *  26 C 2 ) /  52 C 3  = 13/34
