There are 4 aces in a deck of 52 cards.

Probability that Don draws an Ace on his first attempt = 4/52

Since one ace is drawn, the number of aces in the deck is 3 and total cards are 51.

Probability of drawing a second ace = 3/51

The probability of drawing 2 aces = 4/52 x 3/51 = 1/221

So, option B gives the correct answer

there are 4 aces in a deck,
so probability of picking an ace first = 4/52 = 1/13
probability of picking a 2nd ace = 3/51 = 1/17

probability of both: 1/13 x 1/17 = 1/221
answer is B
