There are 2 red aces and 2 black jacks in the deck. The number of ways to choose 2 red aces is 1 (since there are exactly 2 red aces), and the number of ways to choose 2 black jacks is also 1. The fifth card can be any of the remaining 48 cards (52 - 4 aces and jacks). Therefore, the total number of ways is 1 * 1 * 48 = 48 ways.
