Question

One card is drawn of random from a pack of 52 cards. What is the probability that the card drawn is either a red card or a king?

• A. $\frac{6}{13}$
• B. $\frac{1}{2}$
• C. $\frac{7}{13}$
• D. $\frac{27}{52}$

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$\frac{7}{13}$

Since, Total cards = $52$
No. of red cards = $26$
No. of kings = $4$
since, two cards of king are red and two are black.
$\therefore$ favorable cards = $26+2=28$
$\therefore$ probability (getting a card either red or king) = $\frac{28}{52}=\frac{7}{13}$
Option C is correct.
