Answer:
we need at least 17 - card deck
Step-by-step explanation:
From the information given :
We can attempt to solve the question by using pigeonhole principle;
"The pigeonhole principle posits that if more than n pigeons are placed into n pigeonholes some pigeonhole must contain more than one pigeon"
Thus; the minimum number of pigeon; let say at least n pigeons sit on at least one same hole among m hole can be represented by the formula:
m( n - 1 ) + 1
where ;
pigeons are synonymous to card
pigeonholes are synonymous to suits
So; m = 4 ; n = 5
∴ 4 (5 -1 ) + 1 ⇒ 4 (4) + 1
= 16 + 1
= 17
Hence; we need at least 17 - card deck
