| Question 1 |
The minimum number of cards to be dealt from an arbitrarily shuffled deck of 52 cards to guarantee that three cards are from some same suit is
| 3 | |
| 8 | |
| 9 | |
| 12 |
Question 1 Explanation:
No. of cards = 52
No. of suits = 4(P)
Apply pigeon hole principal.
Then number of pigeons = n
floor [(n-1)/P] + 1 = 3
floor [(n-1)/P] = 2
floor [(n-1)] = 8
floor (n) = 8 + 1
n ≥ 9
Minimum no. of cards, n = 9
No. of suits = 4(P)
Apply pigeon hole principal.
Then number of pigeons = n
floor [(n-1)/P] + 1 = 3
floor [(n-1)/P] = 2
floor [(n-1)] = 8
floor (n) = 8 + 1
n ≥ 9
Minimum no. of cards, n = 9
