Question

The king, queen and jack of clubs are removed from a deck of $52$ cards and then well shuffled. One card is selected from the remaining cards. The probability of getting a club is ___________.

• A. $\frac{13}{49}$
• B. $\frac{10}{49}$
• C. $\frac{3}{49}$
• D. $\frac{1}{49}$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $\frac{10}{49}$

Total $3$ cards are removed from a deck of $52$ cards,

Then total cards remaining: $(52-3)=49$.

All three cards removed are of clubs, so total number of cards of clubs remaining is $(13-3)=10$.

The probability of getting a club is $=\frac{10}{49}$.
