since we have to be sure (  guarantee) consider the worst cases for all

i)two aces of same kind are chosen  (first 48 cards without ace 49th will surely be  an ace and  50 th will be of another ace) Here kind word is incorrectly given

ii) two aces are chosen   first 48 cards can be  without ace then 49th and 50th will definitely be ace

iii)two cards of same kind that  is same number so first 13 can be of different numbers but  14 th will definitely match with someone

iv)2 cards of 2 different kinds   let first 4 are of same number  say all ace or all 2 etc now 5th one will be definitely different number

So ans is A  50 50 14 5

Note :- kind means number here so option A language is not proper
