Answer
(i) There are two jack of red suit (1 of diamond and 1 of heart).
∴ No. of favourable outcomes = 2
P(drawing a jack of red suit) = .
Hence, probability of getting a jack of red suit = .
(ii) There is one each card of club numbered 5 and 9.
∴ No. of favourable outcomes = 2
P(drawing a 5 or 9 of club) = .
Hence, probability of drawing a 5 or 9 of club = .
(iii) There are 13 diamond cards in a deck.
∴ No. of favourable outcomes = 13
P(drawing a diamond) = .
Hence, probability of drawing a diamond = .
(iv) There is one each card of club and spade numbered 2, 3 or 5.
∴ No. of favourable outcomes = 6
P(drawing a 2 or 3 or 5 of black suit.) = .
Hence, probability of drawing a 2, 3 or 5 of black suit. = .
