  1. 313\dfrac{3}{13}

  2. 413\dfrac{4}{13}

  3. 613\dfrac{6}{13}

  4. 813\dfrac{8}{13}

Answer

No. of face cards in a deck of 52 cards = 12

P(drawing a face card) = No. of favourable outcomesTotal no. of possible outcomes=1252=313\dfrac{\text{No. of favourable outcomes}}{\text{Total no. of possible outcomes}} = \dfrac{12}{52} = \dfrac{3}{13}.

Hence, Option 1 is the correct option.
