Default Boring Gin Question

Stole this from a PDF I was pointed to. Figure with the lack of content and gin posts...I'd post something to kill about 1.5 minutes of everyone's boring work day.

A gin hand consists of 10 cards from a deck of 52 cards. Find the probability that a gin hand has
(a) all 10 cards of the same suit.
(b) exactly 4 cards in one suit and 3 in two other suits.
(c) a 4, 3, 2, 1, distribution of suits.
