Answered by mr W last updated on 31/Dec/25

p=((13)/C_3 ^(13−1+3) )=((13)/(455))=(1/(35))  or  p=((13×C_3 ^4 )/C_3 ^(52) )=((52)/(22100))=(1/(425))

$${p}=\frac{\mathrm{13}}{{C}_{\mathrm{3}} ^{\mathrm{13}−\mathrm{1}+\mathrm{3}} }=\frac{\mathrm{13}}{\mathrm{455}}=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{35}} \\ $$$${or} \\ $$$${p}=\frac{\mathrm{13}×{C}_{\mathrm{3}} ^{\mathrm{4}} }{{C}_{\mathrm{3}} ^{\mathrm{52}} }=\frac{\mathrm{52}}{\mathrm{22100}}=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{425}} \\ $$

 why the answer is not same?

it depends on whether the cards  with same number are treated as  distinct or indistinct cards.

then p=(1/(35))

$${then}\:{p}=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{35}} \\ $$
