Question:
Determine the number of 5 cards combinations out of a deck of 52 cards if at least one of the 5 cards has to be a king?
Solution:
There are 4 kings in the deck of cards.
So, we are left with 48 cards out of 52.
$\therefore$ Required combination $={ }^{48} C_{1} \times{ }^{4} C_{4}+{ }^{48} C_{2} \times{ }^{4} C_{3}+{ }^{48} C_{3} \times{ }^{4} C_{2}+{ }^{48} C_{4} \times{ }^{4} C_{1}$
$=48+4512+103776+778320$
$=886656$
