Every card in a deck of cards comes in 4 suits. In this question we are asked how many different ways are there to draw 4 Queens and 3 Jacks. As all the queens will be drawn, focus only on the Jacks. How many ways can 3 Jacks be drawn from 4 Jacks. 4!/3!1! = 4

Order does not matter, so its a combination question -

need to select 3 jacks out of available 4 AND 4 queens out of available 4

=>4C3 * 4C4
=4*1 = 4

All 4 queens can be drawn in 1 way (Taking all)

3 Jacks out of 4 can be drawn in \(^4{C_3} = 4\) ways.

Total: 1 * 4 = 4

Sometimes, Combos need logic, not math:

There are only 4 Jacks in a hand

Label each: A, B, C, D
(No need to deal with queens, there will always be 4 selected)

Then:
ABC, ABD, ACD, BCD

4 ways

Answer: 4:)
