Question

The king, queen and jack of clubs are removed from a deck of $52$ playing 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 $\frac{10}{49}$

The king, queen and jack of clubs are removed from a deck

$\Rightarrow$ Number of cards left $=52-3=49$

Total number of clubs left in deck $=13-3=10$

Probability of getting a club $=$ Number of clubs left in deck $÷$ Total number of cards left

$=\frac{10}{49}$
