Options- A. 4
- B. 5
- C. 6
- D. 7
- Correct Answer
- 6
ExplanationClearly, the black cards are either clubs or spades while the red cards are either diamonds or hearts.Tags: Bank ExamsLet the number of spades be x. Then, number of clubs = (7 - x).
Number of diamonds = 2 x number of spades = 2x;
Number of hearts = 2 x number of diamonds = 4x.
Total number of cards = x + 2x + 4x + 7 - x = 6x + 7.
Therefore 6x + 7 = 13 ⟺ 6x = 6 ⟺ x - 1.
Hence, number of clubs = (7 - x) = 6.
