Question:

A card is drawn from a well shuffled pack of 52 cards. Find the probability that it is neither a king nor a heart.

Options:

$\frac{3}{4}$

$\frac{17}{52}$

$\frac{35}{52}$

$\frac{9}{13}$

Correct Answer:

$\frac{9}{13}$

Explanation:

Total number of cards in a peck = 52

Number of king and heart cards = 13 + 3 = 16

Number of neither king nor heart cards= 52 - 16 = 36

Probability that it is neither a king nor a heart = \(\frac{ 36 }{ 52 }\)

= \(\frac{ 9 }{ 13 }\)

The correct answer is Option (4) → $\frac{9}{13}$
