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:)

Deconstructing the Question
A standard deck has 4 Jacks and 4 Queens.
We want exactly 3 Jacks and 4 Queens.
Order does not matter, so we use combinations.

Step-by-step
Choose 3 Jacks from 4:
\(\binom{4}{3}=4\)

Choose 4 Queens from 4:
\(\binom{4}{4}=1\)

Total ways:
\(4 \cdot 1=4\)

Answer: B
