Solution

The correct option is B 613
The cards bearing a number greater than 2 but less than 9 are 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8.
Each card bearing any of the above number is of 4 suits diamond, spade, club or heart.
Thus, the number of favourable outcomes = 6 × 4 = 24
For an event E, Probability P(E) =Number of outcomes favourable to ENumber of all possible outcomes of the experiment
Probability (bearing a number greater than 2 but less than 9)
=2452=613
