Question

A card is drawn at random from a well-suffled desk of playing cards. Find the probability that the card drawn is neither a king nor a queen.

• A. $\frac{1}{4}$
• B. $\frac{11}{13}$
• C. $\frac{2}{26}$
• D. None of these

Answer 1

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

Total number of possible cases $=52$

Total Kings = $4$

Total Queens $=4$
Number of favorable cases (neither a king nor a queen) $=52-4-4=44$
$P$(either a king or a queen) $=\frac{44}{52}=\frac{11}{13}$
