4 card hands can be dealt from a deck of 52 cards.
For the hands of cards, the cards dealt must be different, and the order in which they are dealt does not matter.
So, we are counting the number of combinations of 4 cards chosen from 52,
which gives 52C4
52C4 = ?
= 52 ! / ( 4! ) * ( 52-4)!
= 52! / ( 4 ! * 48 ! )
= 52 *51*50*49 * 48! / 4! * 48!
= 52*51*50*49 / 4 !
= 6497400 / 24
= 270725
Answer:- 270725
270725 different 4 card hands can be dealt from a deck of 52 cards
