Detailed Solution

The probability that the second card picked up is an ace is 0.25.
It is given Five cards—the ten, jack, queen, king and ace of diamonds, are well-shuffled with their face downwards.
The probability of an event E is given as-

P (E) = N u m b e r o f o u t c o m e s f a v o u r a b l e t o E N u m b e r o f a l l p o s s i b l e o u t c o m e s o f t h e e x p e r i m e n t

Given that, a queen is drawn and put aside then there will be 4 cards remaining- the ten, jack, king and ace of diamonds.
So, total number of possible outcomes = 4.
Total number of aces = 1
Number of favorable outcomes = 1

Therefore, 0.25 is the required probability of finding an ace.
Hence option (3) is correct.
