    We need to find the probability of getting 3 tens and 2 kings

    First we find possible combinations of selecting 5 cards from 52 cards

    That is 52C5

    We use formula n! / r! (n-r) !

    52! / 5! (52-5) ! = 2598960

    In 52 cards, we have 4 tens and 4 kings

    We need to select 3 tens from 4 tens

    So we find 4C3 = 4! / 3! (4-3) ! = 4

    We need to select 2 kings from 4 kings

    So we find 4C2 = 4! / 2! (4-2) ! = 6

    The probability of 3 tens and 2 queens = (4C3 * 4C2) / 52C5

    (4*6) / 2598960 = 1/108290
