One card is drawn at random from a pack of 52 cards. What is the probability that the card drawn is a face card (Jack, Queen and King only)?
A. $$\frac{{1}}{{13}}$$
B. $$\frac{{3}}{{13}}$$
C. $$\frac{{1}}{{4}}$$
D. $$\frac{{9}}{{52}}$$
Answer: Option B
Solution(By Examveda Team)
Clearly, there are 52 cards, out of which there are 12 face cards.$$\eqalign{ & \therefore P\left( {{\text{getting}}\,{\text{a}}\,{\text{face}}\,{\text{card}}} \right) \cr & = \frac{{12}}{{52}} = \frac{3}{{13}} \cr} $$
