Question

A card is drawn at random from a well shuffled deck of playing cards. The probability that the card drawn is neither a king nor a queen is

• A. $\frac{4}{13}$
• B. $\frac{1}{26}$
• C. $\frac{11}{13}$
• D. $\frac{2}{13}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $\frac{11}{13}$

Probability of getting either king or queen $=\frac{8}{52}=\frac{2}{13}$
Probability of getting neither a king nor a queen = 1 - Probability of getting either king or queen
$=1-\frac{2}{13}=\frac{11}{13}$

So, the correct option is (c)
