Question

A card is drawn at random from a pack of 52 cards. What is the probability that the card drawn is a spade or a king ?

• A. $\frac{4}{13}$
• B. $\frac{3}{13}$
• C. $\frac{2}{13}$
• D. $\frac{1}{13}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $\frac{4}{13}$

Since, Total cards = $52$
No. of kings = $4$
No. of cards that are spade = $13$
There is one card of king which is of spade.
$\therefore$ no. of cards which are spade or a king = $16$
$\therefore$ Required probability = $\frac{16}{52}=\frac{4}{13}$
$\therefore$ Option A is correct.
