Question

A card is drawn from a pack of 52 cards randomly. The probability of either a queen or a jack is.........

• A. 2/13
• B. 1/13
• C. 11/13
• D. 13/52

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

2/13

Given: Pack of 52 cards

To find: The probability of either a queen or a jack

Sol:

There are 4 cards of queen out of 52 cards and 4 cards of jack out of 52 cards.

Hence the probability of either a queen or a jack = probability of getting a queen or probability of getting a jack

Hence required probability is $⟹\frac{4}{52}+\frac{4}{52}=\frac{8}{52}=\frac{2}{13}$
