Abstract
The rare decays $B^0 \to D_s^- K^+$ and $B^+ \to D_s^+ \overline{K}^0$ can occur only via annihilation type diagrams in the standard model. We calculate these decays in the perturbative QCD approach. We found that the calculated branching ratio of $B^0 \to D_s^- K^+$ agreed with the data which had been observed in the KEK and SLAC B factories. The decay $B^+ \to D_s^+ \overline{K}^0$ has a very small branching ratio at ${\cal O}(10^{-8})$, due to the suppression from the CKM matrix elements |Vub* Vcd|.
