Question

1 card is randomly chosen from a deck of which red face cards have been removed, find the probability that the picked card is a face card.
1. 3 / 23
2. 3 / 46
3. 6 / 23
4. 3 / 26
5. None of these

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : 3 / 23

Concept used:

Classical definition of probability.

Formula used:

Probability = Favorable Outcome / Total Outcome.

Calculation:

There are 12 face cards in a deck. [King, Queen and Jack of all 4 suits]

Total cards available = 52 – 6 = 46 (red face cards have been removed)

Number of black face cards available = 6

Probability = 6 / 46 = 3 / 23
