Answer

Total number of cards = 52

Number of face cards = 12

Let E be the event of not picking a face card.

The number of favorable outcomes of the event E = 52 - 12 = 40

P(E)=Number of favorable outcomesTotal number of outcomes=4052=1013\therefore P(E) = \dfrac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}} = \dfrac{40}{52} = \dfrac{10}{13}

Assertion (A) is false.

In a standard deck of cards, "face cards" are the King, Queen, and Jack.

Each of the 4 suits (Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs, Spades) has 3 face cards.

Total face cards = 4 × 3 = 12.

Reason (R) is false.

Both A and R are false

Hence, option 4 is the correct option.
