Probability of drawing an Ace on two draws with replacement.

• A. 1/13
• B. 1/169
• C. 1/26
• D. 1/12

Answer: (B)

With replacement, each draw is independent because you put the card back, so the chance on every draw stays the same. A single draw has 4 aces out of 52 cards, which is 1/13. For two independent draws, multiply the probabilities: (1/13) × (1/13) = 1/169. So the probability of getting an Ace on both draws is 1/169.

Note: if you didn’t replace the card, the second draw would change the odds (4/52 × 3/51 = 1/221), but this question specifies replacement.
