One card is drawn from a well-shuffled deck of 52 cards. Find the probability of getting (i) a king of red colour, (ii) a face card (iii) a red face card (iv) the jack of hearts (v) a spade (vi) the queen of diamonds. Select the correct answer from above options

Answer 1

Total number of cards = 52 (i) P(One red king) = 2 52 = 1 26 (ii) Number of a face card : 4 king, 4 queen, 4 jack = Total 12 cards ∴ P(1 face card) = 12 52 = 3 13 (iii) One red colour face card = 6 ∴ P(1 red face card) = 6 52 = 3 13 (iv) P(Heart Jack) = 1 52 (v) P(1 spade) = 13 52 = 1 4 (vi) P(Diamond card) = 1 52
