Anwner : 4/52

Explanation : The chance of drawing one of the four aces from a standard deck of 52 cards is 4/52; but the chance of drawing a second ace is only 3/51, because after we drew the first ace, there were only three aces among the remaining 51 cards. Thus, the chance of drawing an ace on each of two draws is 4/52 × 3/51, or 1/221.
