Answer:

probability that one card is the king of hearts and one card is the king of diamonds = 1/2704

Explanation:

In the deck of 52 cards, there is 1 king of diamonds and 1 king of hearts.

Thus, since the player is dealt with 2 cards at the same time,

probability of getting 1 king of diamonds = 1/52

Probability of getting 1 king of hearts = 1/52

Thus; probability of both occurring = 1/52 × 1/52 = 1/2704
