  1. A \(\frac{8}{13}\)
  2. B \(\frac{2}{13}\)
  3. C \(\frac{8}{221}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{2}{13}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Prime numbers among same suit are \(2,3,5,7\) Their number \(=4 ;\) No. of face cards \(=3\) Total no. of cases \(=13 \times 12\) Favourable cases \(=4 \times 3+3 \times 4=24\) Required probability \(=\frac{24}{13 \times 12}=\frac{2}{13}\).
