Solution

In a pack of 52 playing cards, there are 2 red jacks, 2 red queens and 2 red kings. 
All the red face cards are removed from the pack. Then,
Number of remaining cards = 52 − 6 = 46
∴ Total number of outcomes = 46 

There are 13 cards of club in the remaining pack of cards.
So, the favourable number of outcomes are 13.
∴ P(drawing a card of club) = \[\frac{\text{ Favourable number of outcomes }}{\text{ Total number of outcomes }} = \frac{13}{46}\]
