Q15 of 34 Page 1

The king, queen and jack of diamond are removed from a deck of 52 playing cards and then well shuffled. Now one card is drawn at random from the remaining cards. Determine the probability that the card drawn is :

(i) A face card.


(ii) A red card.


(iii) A king.

(i) Total No of cards in a deck = 52


No of face cards = 12


We know that,


Probability of an event


⇒ Probability of getting a face card



(ii) Total No of cards in a deck = 52


No of red cards = 26


We know that,


Probability of an event


⇒ Probability of getting a red card



(iii) Total No of cards in a deck = 52


No of kings = 4


We know that,


Probability of an event


⇒ Probability of getting a king
