The probability that a card drawn from a pack of 52 cards will be a red card or an ace (including the chance of any red ace), is:

7/13

The correct answer is Option (3) → 7/13

Let’s calculate step by step.

• Total cards = 52
• Red cards (hearts + diamonds) = 26
• Aces = 4
• Red aces (hearts + diamonds) = 2

Using the formula:

$P(\text{Red card or Ace}) = \frac{\text{Red cards} + \text{Aces} - \text{Red aces}}{52}$

$= \frac{26 + 4 - 2}{52} = \frac{28}{52} = \frac{7}{13}$
