1. There's one 2 of heart/diamond. Therefore, 2 cards from the pack of 52.
Hence, 1/26.

2. 4 kings in each pack. Therefore, 1/13 for each pack. For both the packs
1/13 x 1/13 = 1/169

3. At least one of them is King. Calculate probability of none of them being King
Therefore, for no King > 48/52 x 48/52 = 2304/2704

For at least one king > 1 - 2304/2704 = 400/2704 = 25/169

4. 13 clubs(including King of Club) + 3 Kings of others. = 16
Therefore, 16/52.

5.Neither a king nor Heart. 13 hearts + 3 kings of others.
Therefore, 1 - 16/52 = 36/52 = 9/13

6. 13 hearts + 13 clubs = 26

Therefore, 1 - 26/52 = 1/2.
