a. P(2 kings 2 queens and 1 jack) = [4C2*4C2*4C1]/52C5
-------------------------------
b. P(3 aces 1 king and 1 queen) = [4C3*4C1*4C1]/52C5
--------------------------------
c. P(1ace 1 king 1 queen and 1 jack) = [4C1*4C1*4C1*4C1]/52C4
---------------------------------
d. P(2diamonds and 3 hearts) = [13C2*13C3]/52C5
=================
