Solution

The correct option is D

Total Number of face cards = 3 $\times$ 4 = 12

P (not being face card) = 1 - P( being face card)

P(being face card) = $\frac{Number of face cards}{Total number of cards}$ = $\frac{12}{52}$ = $\frac{3}{13}$

P(not being a face card) = $1 - \frac{3}{13}$ = $\frac{10}{13}$
