    A)  4                                

    B)  5        

    C)  6                    

    D)  7

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Clearly, the black cards are either clubs or spades while red cards are either diamonds or hearts. Let the number of spades be x. Then, number of clubs \[=(7-x)\] Number of diamonds \[=2\times \] number of spades \[=2x\] Number of hearts \[=2\times \] number of diamonds = 4x Total number of cards \[=x+2x+4x+7-x=6x+7\] \[\therefore \] \[6x+7=13\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[6x=\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[x=1\] Hence, number of clubs \[=(7-x)=6\]
