Part 1. Definition
You are given a math word problem and you are supposed to make use of mathematical concepts like probability, combinatorics, linear equations, sequences/series, or simple operators like addition, subtraction, division, or multiplication to answer the given question. Choose the best option from the 5 given options and report that option.
Part 2. Example
From a pack of 52 cards, two cards are drawn together at random. What is the probability of both the cards being kings?

Option A:2/1223

Option B: 1/122

Option C: 1/221

Option D: 3/1253

Option E: 2/153

Answer: Option C
Explanation: Let s be the sample space.
Then n(s) = 52C2 = 1326
E = event of getting 2 kings out of 4
n(E) = 4C2 = 6
P(E) = 6/1326 = 1/221
