MCQ
A card is selected at random from a well shuffled deck of $52$ playing cards. The probability of its being a face card is :
- A$\frac{4}{13}$
- B$\frac{1}{26}$
- ✓$\frac{3}{13}$
- D$\frac{3}{26}$
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
$\frac{3}{13}$
Face Cards are $= 4$ kings $+\ 4$ queens $+\ 4$ jacks $= 12$
Number of possible outcomes $= 12$
Number of Total outcomes $= 52$
$\therefore$ Required Probability $=\frac{12}{52}=\frac{3}{13}$
Number of possible outcomes $= 12$
Number of Total outcomes $= 52$
$\therefore$ Required Probability $=\frac{12}{52}=\frac{3}{13}$
