One evening, four friends decided to play a card game Rummy. Rummy is a card game that is played with decks
of cards. To win the rummy game a player must make a valid declaration by picking and discarding cards from
the two piles given. One pile is a closed deck, where a player is unable to see the card that he is picking, while
the other is an open deck that is formed by the cards discarded by the players. To win at a rummy card game, the
players have to group cards invalid sequences and sets.
In rummy, the cards rank low to high starting with Ace, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, Jack, Queen, and King. Ace,
Jack, Queen, and King each have 10 points. The remaining cards have a value equal to their face value. For
example, 5 cards will have 5 points, and so on.

Four cards are drawn from a pack of 52 playing cards, then:

i. In how many ways can four cards are drawn from a pack of 52 playing cards? (1)
ii. In how many ways can four cards are drawn from a pack of 52 playing cards such that all 4 cards are from
same suit? (1)
iii. In how many ways can four cards are drawn from a pack of 52 playing cards such that 2 cards are Ace? (2)
OR
