Solution
There are 4 ace cards in a deck of 52 playing cards.
∴ Number of non-ace cards = 52 − 4 = 48
Let E be the event of drawing a non-ace card.
Total number of outcomes = 52
Number of favourable outcomes = 48
`P(E)=text{Number of favourable outcomes}/text{ Total Number of outcomes}=48/52=12/13`
The correct answer is C.
