A card is drawn from a well shuffled deck of 52 playing cards. Find the probability that it is
(i) A jack
(ii) An ace of spades
(iii) A red card

• A. $\frac{1}{13},\frac{4}{52},\frac{1}{2}$
  
• B. $\frac{1}{13},\frac{13}{52},\frac{1}{2}$
  
• C. $\frac{1}{52},\frac{4}{52},\frac{1}{26}$
  
• D. $\frac{1}{13},\frac{1}{52},\frac{1}{2}$
  

Answer 1

The correct option is D $\frac{1}{13},\frac{1}{52},\frac{1}{2}$


(i) Total number of cards$=52$
Number of jacks$=4$
Probability of jack$=\frac{4}{52}=\frac{1}{13}$

(ii) Number of ace of spades$=1$
Probability of Ace of spade$=\frac{1}{52}$

(iii) Total number of red colour cards in a deck$=26$
Probability of the red colour card$=\frac{26}{52}=\frac{1}{2}$

Correct answer is option (d)
