Answer:

1430

Explanation:

Given that a standard deck of cards is 52 cards, we have 13 Diamonds and we need 4 diamonds.

Hence, we have 13C4.

Also, we have 4 kings in a standard deck of cards, and in which we have 2 black kings but we need 1 king.

Hence we have a 2C1

Therefore:

13C4 * 2C1

=> 13! ÷ [4! (13 - 4)!] * 2! ÷ [1! (2-1)!]

=> 13! ÷ [4! (9)!]

=> (1 x 2 x 3 x 4 x 5 x 6 x 7 x 8 x 9 x 10 x 11 x 12 x 13) ÷ [(1 x 2 x 3 x 4) (1 x 2 x 3 x 4 x 5 x 6 x 7 x 8 x 9)]

=> (10 x 11 x 12 x 13) ÷ 24

=> (17160 ÷ 24) * (24 ÷ 6)

=> 715

2! ÷ [1! (2-1)!]

=> 2

Hence, we have 715 * 2

=> 1430

Hence, in this case, the correct answer to the question is 1430
