Answer: 1/26

Explanation:

Out of the 52 card deck there is a single Jack of diamonds and a single ace of clubs. Their individual probabilities are therefore both 1/52.

For the probability that you can pick either of those card you have to add up their probabilities;

= 1/52 + 1/52

= 2/52

= 1/26
