Solution

In a pack of 52 playing cards, there are 4 jack, 4 queen and 4 king cards. 
All jack, queen and king cards are removed from the pack. Then,
Number of remaining cards = 52 − 12 = 40
∴ Total number of outcomes = 40 

There are 0 face cards in the remaining pack of cards.
So, the favourable number of outcomes are 0.
∴ P(drawing a black face card) = \[\frac{\text{ Favourable number of outcomes }}{\text{ Total number of outcomes }} = \frac{0}{40} = 0\]
