Question

12. Th e king and queen of diamonds, queen and jack of hearts, jack and king of spades 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 is
(i) a clavor (ii) a queen of red card (iii) a king of black card

Answer 1

After removing the King, queen and Jack of clubs from a deck of 52 cards,

Number of total cards left= 52–3= 49

Number of club cards left= 13–3= 10

Number of heart cards=13

So, the probability of getting a heart= 13/49

The probability of getting a club= 10/49

The probability of getting the 10 of hearts= 1/49 ( as there is only 1 card of 10 hearts).

I hope the answer is clear!
