Ace-4
Face card-12

Probability of card to be Ace =4/52= 1/13
Probability of card to be Face cards =12/52=3/13

Probability of card to be Ace or Face cards = 1/13 + 3/13 = 4/13
Answer C.

total ace cards: 4/52
Total face cards left: 12/52 ; K,Q & J only

4/52+12/52= 1/13+3/13= 4/13 IMO C

Total ace cards=4
Total face cards=16

But out of above 16 we already have 4 ace cards

Probability = 16+4-4(ace card used twice)/52
= 16/52
=4/13

Therefore C.
