Question

One card is drawn at random from a pack of $52$ cards. What is the probability that the card drawn is a face card?

• A. $\frac{4}{13}$
• B. $\frac{2}{13}$
• C. $\frac{3}{13}$
• D. $\frac{5}{26}$

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

$\frac{3}{13}$

There are $52$ cards, out of which $12$ are face cards.

In each suit, face cards $=$ King, Queen, Jack

$\therefore$ P(getting a face card) $=\frac{12}{52}=$ $\frac{3}{13}$.
