Question

If a card is drawn at random from a pack of $52$ cards, what is the chance of getting a Spade or an ace?

• A. $\frac{4}{13}$
• B. $\frac{5}{13}$
• C. $0.25$
• D. $0.20$

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

$\frac{4}{13}$

There are four suits and each suits have 3 spades and one ace, so total number of spade and an ace=4*(4)=16

Chance of getting a Spade or an ace=16/52=4/13
