Answer 1

Correct Answer - ` (i) 10/23 (ii) 3/23 (iii) 6/23` There are 6 red face cards.These are removed. Remaining numbers of cards = 52-6 = 46. (i) Number of red cards now= 26-6 = 20. ` :. ` p(getting a red card0 ` = 20/46 = 10/23`. (ii) Remaining number of face cards = 12 - 6 = 6. ` :. ` P(getting a face card) =`6/46 = 3/23`. (iii) There are 12 cards of clubs. ` :. ` p(getting a card of clubs) ` = 12/46 = 6/23`.
