Question:

A card is drawn from a well shuffled pack of 52 cards. What is the probability that it is neither a queen nor a diamond ?

Options:

$\frac{17}{52}$

$\frac{35}{52}$

$\frac{10}{13}$

$\frac{9}{13}$

Correct Answer:

$\frac{17}{52}$

Explanation:

Total cards = 52

Total queens = 4

Total diamonds = 13

Favourable outcomes = 13 + 4 = 17

Probability of getting neither a queen nor a diamond = Favourable outcomes / Total outcomes

= $\frac{17}{52}$
