  • Paper
  • Answer

A deck of forty cards consists of four 11's, four 22's,..., and four 1010's. A matching pair (two cards with the same number) is removed from the deck. Given that these cards are not returned to the deck, let mn\frac{m}{n} be the probability that two randomly selected cards also form a pair, where mm and nn are relatively prime positive integers. Find m+n.m + n.
