King(K),  Queen(Q), Jack(J). Than the sequence of drawings is (K,Q,J)(K,Q,J). So its 6 such a sequence of drawing cards: ​(K,Q,J), (K,J,Q), (Q,K,J), (J,K,Q), (Q,J,K), (J,Q,K) ​
The required probablity will be: P=6P(K,Q,J) ​
Find the probability of drawing card first a King(K), then a Queen(Q) and a Jack(J). ​


The probability of drawing a King in the 1st draw is Total Number of King / Total Number of Aviliable Cards =4/52 ​
Since we can not replace the card, thus for the second draw we have total 51 cards available. ​
The probability of drawing a Queen in the 2nd draw is: Total Number of Queen / Total Number of Aviliable Cards =4/51


Since we can not replace the card, thus for the second draw we have total 50 cards available. ​
The probability of drawing a Jack in the 3rd draw is: Total Number of Jack / Total Number of Aviliable Cards =4/50 ​
Soo the probability of drawing card first a King(K), then a Queen(Q) and then a Jack(J) is: ​
P(K,Q,J)=(4/52)(4/51)(4/50)
Answer: the required probablity is 6P(K,Q,J)=643525150
