The correct answer is: 1221

Total number of ways of drawing one card from 52 cards

=52C1       nCr=n!r!(n-r)!

=52!1! 51!=52

Total number of ways drawing one card of ace from 4 ace cards=C14=4!1! 3!=4

For second card,

Total number of ways of drawing one card from 51 cards

= C1=5151 and

Total number of ways drawing one card of ace from 3 ace cards=C1=33

Probability of both events =452×351

=113×117=1221
