B
$\frac{3}{49}$
C
$\frac{4}{49}$
D

Solution:

As we know that,
Probability

= \frac{No . of favorable outcomes}{Total no . of outcomes}

From the question we have,
A deck has a total 52 numbers of cards. Now, King, queen and jack of diamonds are removed from a deck of 52 playing cards.
So, Total number of outcomes = 52 – 3 = 49,
There are 4 jacks in a deck. After removing a jack of diamond we left with 3 Jacks.
Number of favorable outcomes = 3
Probability

= \frac{No . of favorable outcomes}{Total no . of outcomes}

= \frac{3}{49}
