Let Q denote the vent that the card drawn is a queen and K be the event that the drawn is a king. Then, we have to find `P(Q QK)`. Probability of drawing first queen is `P(Q)=4/52`. Now, there are 3 queens in remaining 51 cards. Let `P(Q//Q)` be the probability of getting the second queen with the condition that one queen has already been drawn. `:. P(Q//Q)=3/51` Lastly, `P(K//Q Q)` is probability of third drawn card to be a king, with the condition that two queens have already been drawn. Now, there are 4 kings in remaning 50 cards. `:. P(K//Q Q)=4/50`. By multiplication law of probability, we have `P(Q QK)=P(Q nn Q nn K)` `=P(Q).P(Q//Q).P(K//Q Q)` `=(4/52xx3/51xx4/50)=(1/13xx1/17xx2/25)=2/5525`. Hence, the required probability is `2/5525`.
