plz do on paper

​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 26 red cards & 26 black cards. Out of 26 black cards, there are 6 face cards ( J, Q & K in both spades and clubs). So, the total number of cards which are either red or face cards is 26+6= 32. Hence, the required probability is 32/52 = 8/13.
