1st card = 13/52
2nd card = 12/51
3rd card = 11/50
4th card = 10/49
5th card = 9/48

13/52 * 12/51 * 11/50 * 10/49 * 9/48 = 33/66640

 there are 4 different suits so 4 * 33/66640 = 33/16660
 answer is C

Answer:

33/66640=0.0004952

Step-by-step explanation:

A flush is when you have 5 cards of the same suit.

There are 13 cards of each suit and total 52 cards

probability of drawing first card=13/52

probability of drawing second card=12/51

probability of drawing third card=11/50

probability of drawing fourth card=10/49

probability of drawing fifth card=9/48

Hence, total probability=

  (13×12×11×10×9)/(52×51×50×49×48)

= 33/66640

=0.0004952

i.e. option D
