After the first card is drawn, there are 4 kings in a 51 card deck. There is therefore a 4/51 probability that the next card is a king. When that happends, there is a 3/50 probability that the third card is a ling.
So, multiply 4/51 by 3/50 for your answer. The fraction that you should be reduced to lowest terms.
