Answer:


(65)/(126) is the probability.

Explanation:

There is a total of 36 cards, 26 letters and 10 numerals.

The probability that the first card contains a letter is
(26)/(36)

If the first card is a letter, the probability that the second card also contains a letter is
(25)/(35) (25 letters remaining and 35 cards remaining)

The probability that both are letters is:


(26)/(36)* (25)/(35)


(13)/(18)*(5)/(7)= (65)/(126)

Therefore, the probability is
(65)/(126)
