Answer:

The probability of getting one ten from the deck of 52 cards is 4/52, since there are four tens in the deck. After one ten is drawn, there are only 51 cards remaining in the deck.

Explanation:

The probability of getting four kings from the remaining 51 cards is (4/51) * (3/50) * (2/49) * (1/48), since there are four kings left in the deck after the ten is drawn, and the probability of drawing a king decreases with each card drawn.

Therefore, the probability of getting one ten and four kings is:

(4/52) * (4/51) * (3/50) * (2/49) * (1/48)

= 0.0000026

This is an extremely low probability, since the chances of getting this specific combination of cards is very low.
