1) Well, we know there are 52 cards in a deck.
So, we would divide 52 by 2 because half of the cards are black, half red. So, that means the fraction would have to be of half of 52.  1/2 would be the correct fraction for getting a black card out.
2) There are 12 faced cards in one deck. (That is about as much as I for sure know)

The required probability = 8/13 since option D is the correct answer.

What do we mean by probability?

The probability of any outcome is the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the total number of possible outcomes.

How do we calculate the probability in the given question?

A standard deck of cards contains 52 cards.

∴ Total number of possible outcomes n(S) = 52

Number of black cards in a standard deck = 26

Number of face cards in a standard deck = 12

But, black face cards have already been counted in the black cards, so we subtract the number of black face cards = 6.

∴ Number of favorable outcomes n(A) = 26 + 12 - 6 = 32

∴ Probability (A black card or a face card) = n(A)/n(s) = 32/52 = 8/13

∴ The required probability = 8/13. The correct option is D.
