Question

A card is drawn from a well-shuffled deck of playing cards. Find the probability of getting a black card which is not a face card and ace?

• A. 9/52
• B. 9/26
• C. 9/13
• D. 10/13

Answer 1

The correct option is B

9/26

In each suit, there are 9 cards that are not face cards and ace.
Hence, there will be a total of 18 cards in a deck which are black and are not face cards and ace.
Required probability is $\frac{18}{52}$ = $\frac{9}{26}$.
