Answer:
c) 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
These are 4 kings, 4 queens, and 4 aces. These are removed.
Thus, remaining number of cards now = 52 - 4 - 4 = 40
(i) Number of black face cards now = 2 (only black jacks).
Therefore, P(getting a black face card) =

(ii) Number of red cards now = 26 - 6 = 20.
