Given that
2 cards of hearts and 4 cards of spades are missing from a pack of 52 cards
Since 2 cards of hearts are missing
Number of red cards in the pack = 26 – 2 = 24
Also, 4 cards of spades are missing
Number of black cards in the pack = 26 – 4 = 22
Thus,
Total number of cards = 24 + 22
= 46
Now,
Probability of getting a black card from the pack
= (𝑁𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑏𝑙𝑎𝑐𝑘 𝑐𝑎𝑟𝑑𝑠 𝑙𝑒𝑓𝑡)/(𝑇𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙. 𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑐𝑎𝑟𝑑𝑠 𝑙𝑒𝑓𝑡)
= 𝟐𝟐/𝟒𝟔
So, the correct answer is (b)
