There are 4 king and 4 eight cards inside 52 one deck of cards. The case asks for a king card and then an eight card.
To draw the king card, you have 4/52 probability.
To draw the eight card, you have 4/51 probability ( since the king card not replaced).

The total probability would be: 4*4/ 52*51= 4/663
