One card is drawn at random from a well shuffled pack of 52 cards. The probability that the card drawn is a face card (Jack, Queen and King only) is

• A

  $1 / 13$
• Correct answer
  B

  $3 / 13$
• C

  $1 / 4$
• D

  $9 / 52$

Solution

$\begin{aligned} & =\mathrm{P}[\text { Jack }]+\mathrm{P}[\text { Queen }]+\mathrm{P}[\text { King }] \\ & =\frac{4}{52}+\frac{4}{52}+\frac{4}{52}=\frac{12}{52}=\frac{3}{13}\end{aligned}$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
