Answer 2

B) 4/221.

Explanation:

There are 12 face cards so probability of first draw being a face card = 12/52

= 3/13.

There are 4 aces in the pack so probability of the second draw being an ace = 4/51.

Answer is 3/13 * 4/51

= 12/ 663

= 4/221.

The probabilities are multiplied because the 2 events are independent.
