The probability of getting a pair and only a pair is

=2*3*(44c2)/(50c3) = 28.96%

Assume you have AK there are three aces left and three kings. There are 44 other cards. Let say you want the probablity of hitting a pair of aces and only a pair that would be 3*(44c2)/(50c3) but the probability of hitting either ace or a king would be twice this.
