A standard deck of playing cards contains 52 cards. Total number of outcomes = 52 There are 13 spade cards and each suit has 1 king. So, the other 3 suits apart from spade has kings. ∴ Total no. of spade and king cards = 13 + 3 = 16. Hence, no. of cards other than spade and king = 52 - 16 = 36. Let E be the event of choosing neither a spade nor a king, then The number of favorable outcomes to the event E = 36 P(E) = Hence, option 4 is the correct option.
