What will be the possibility of drawing a jack or a spade from a well shuffled standard deck of 52 playing cards?

A. $$\frac{{4}}{{13}}$$

B. $$\frac{{1}}{{26}}$$

C. $$\frac{{1}}{{13}}$$

D. $$\frac{{17}}{{52}}$$

Answer: Option A

Solution (By Examveda Team)

We want jack or spade
There are 4 jacks and 13 spade cards
Total 52 cards
Also 1 jack is jack of spades
So probability
$$\eqalign{ & = \frac{4}{{52}} + \frac{{13}}{{52}} - \frac{1}{{52}} \cr & = \frac{4}{{13}} \cr} $$
