    From a pack of 52 playing cards, a card is drawn at random.
    The probability that the drawn card is not a face card, is:

    A) \[\frac{3}{13}\]

    B) \[\frac{9}{13}\]

    C) \[\frac{10}{13}\]

    D) \[\frac{3}{4}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] Total number of outcomes = 52
    Number of face cards = 12
    \[\therefore \] Number of non-face cards \[=\text{52}-1\text{2}=\text{4}0\]
    So, favourable number of outcomes = 40
    \[\therefore \] Required probability \[=\frac{40}{52}=\frac{10}{13}\]
