##### Options
• A. 1/13

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.
