Given:

Total number of cards : 7 cards

No. of 7 cards = 2

No. of 2 cards = 1


\text{ Probability = Probability of getting 7 x Probability of getting 2}
\text{ = }\frac{\text{ 2}}{\text{ 7}}\text{ x }\frac{\text{ 1}}{\text{ 7}}\text{ = }\frac{\text{ 2}}{\text{ 49}}

Therefore, the probability of drawing 7, then drawing 2 is 2/49.

The answer is 2/49.
