Step 1
In a standard deck of cards (no jokers) it is 12
Whenever you see EITHER. OR in a question like this you may ADD the probabilities.
13 hearts+13 diamonds=26 out of 52 cards.
So the probability for "success"
=2652=12=50%
if you have a deck including 2 jokers it would be slightly less:
2654=132748%
