Question

All red face cards are removed from a pack of playing cards. The remaining cards are well shuffled and then a card is drawn at random from them. Find the probability that the drawn card is a card of clubs.

Answer 1

There are 6 red face cards. These are removed.

Thus, remaining number of cards = 52 − 6 = 46.

Number of card of clubs = 12.

∴ P(getting a card of clubs) = `("Number of favourable outcomes")/"Number of all possible outcomes"`

`= 12/46 = 6/23`

Thus, the probability that the drawn card is a card of clubs is `6/23`.
