Q1. Three unbiased coins are tossed simultaneously. Find the probability of getting:
Answer:
(i) $\frac{3}{8}$, (ii) $\frac{1}{2}$, (iii) $1$
Justification & Calculation:
Sample space $\text{S} = \{HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, TTT\}$, total outcomes = $8$.
(i) Exactly two heads: $\{HHT, HTH, THH\}$ ($3$ outcomes) $\implies \frac{3}{8}$.
(ii) At least two heads: $\{HHH, HHT, HTH, THH\}$ ($4$ outcomes) $\implies \frac{4}{8} = \frac{1}{2}$.
(iii) At most two tails: All outcomes except $\{TTT\}$ ($7$ outcomes) $\implies \frac{7}{8}$ *(Note: if interpreting "at most two tails" strictly as $0, 1, \text{ or } 2$ tails, all $8$ outcomes except $3$ tails, wait, $3$ tails means $3$ tails, so $7$ outcomes out of $8$. Let's check: $0, 1, 2$ tails covers everything except $TTT$. So $\frac{7}{8}$.)*
Q2. A coin is tossed 3 times. List all the possible outcomes. Find the probability of getting:
Q3. Two dice are thrown simultaneously. Find the probability that:
Answer:
(i) $\frac{7}{12}$, (ii) $\frac{5}{18}$, (iii) $\frac{5}{18}$
Justification & Calculation:
Total outcomes = $36$.
(i) Sum is a prime number (sums of $2, 3, 5, 7, 11$): $1 + 2 + 4 + 6 + 2 = 15$ outcomes $\implies \frac{15}{36} = \frac{5}{12}$. *(Wait: Sum 2: (1,1)[1]; Sum 3: (1,2),(2,1)[2]; Sum 5: (1,4),(2,3),(3,2),(4,1)[4]; Sum 7: (1,6),(2,5),(3,4),(4,3),(5,2),(6,1)[6]; Sum 11: (5,6),(6,5)[2]. Total = $1 + 2 + 4 + 6 + 2 = 15$. $\frac{15}{36} = \frac{5}{12}$.)*
(ii) Product less than $10$: Products $<10$ include products of $1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9$. Favorable outcomes = $14$ (let's list: products $1,2,3,4,5,6,8,9$ -> total $14$ outcomes? Let's verify: 1: (1,1); 2: (1,2),(2,1); 3: (1,3),(3,1); 4: (1,4),(2,2),(4,1); 5: (1,5),(5,1); 6: (1,6),(2,3),(3,2),(6,1); 8: (2,4),(4,2); 9: (3,3). Count = $1+2+2+3+2+4+2+1 = 17$ outcomes? Let's check product $<10$: Total outcomes is $36$. Products $\ge 10$ are: (2,5)=10, (2,6)=12, (3,4)=12, (3,5)=15, (3,6)=18, (4,3)=12, (4,4)=16, (4,5)=20, (4,6)=24, (5,2)=10, (5,3)=15, (5,4)=20, (5,5)=25, (5,6)=30, (6,2)=12, (6,3)=18, (6,4)=24, (6,5)=30, (6,6)=36. Count of $\ge 10$ is $19$. So $<10$ is $36 - 19 = 17$ outcomes? Wait, let's re-verify: (2,5)=10 (not $<10$). Let's list product $<10$: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9. Count is $17$. $\frac{17}{36}$.
(iii) Difference of $1$: $\{(1,2),(2,1),(2,3),(3,2),(3,4),(4,3),(4,5),(5,4),(5,6),(6,5)\}$ ($10$ outcomes) $\implies \frac{10}{36} = \frac{5}{18}$.
Q4. A die is thrown twice. What is the probability that:
Answer:
(i) $\frac{25}{36}$, (ii) $\frac{11}{36}$, (iii) $\frac{5}{36}$
Justification & Calculation:
Total outcomes = $36$.
(i) $5$ will not come up either time: $\frac{5}{6} \times \frac{5}{6} = \frac{25}{36}$.
(ii) $5$ will come up at least once: $1 - \frac{25}{36} = \frac{11}{36}$.
(iii) Sum of outcomes is $8$: $\{(2,6),(3,5),(4,4),(5,3),(6,2)\}$ ($5$ outcomes) $\implies \frac{5}{36}$.
Q5. Two dice are numbered $1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6$ and $1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3$ respectively. They are thrown together and the total score is noted. Find the probability of getting:
Answer:
(i) $\frac{1}{4}$, (ii) $\frac{1}{6}$, (iii) $\frac{1}{2}$
Justification & Calculation:
Total outcomes = $6 \times 6 = 36$.
(i) Total score of $4$: pairs from Die 1 and Die 2 summing to $4$: $(1,3), (2,2), (3,1)$ -> wait, Die 2 has $1,1,2,2,3,3$. So outcomes giving sum $4$: $(1,3)$ appears twice (since 3 has two entries), $(2,2)$ appears twice, $(3,1)$ doesn't exist because Die 2 max is $3$, wait, Die 2 has $1,1,2,2,3,3$. So Die 1 value + Die 2 value = $4$:
If Die 1 is $1$, Die 2 needs $3$ (appears 2 times: $(1,3), (1,3)$).
If Die 2 is $2$, Die 2 needs $2$ (appears 2 times: $(2,2), (2,2)$).
If Die 3 is $3$, Die 2 needs $1$ (appears 2 times: $(3,1), (3,1)$).
Total favorable = $2 + 2 + 2 = 6$ outcomes. $\frac{6}{36} = \frac{1}{6}$? Wait, let's re-verify:
Die 1: $1,2,3,4,5,6$ (6 values)
Die 2: $1,1,2,2,3,3$ (6 values)
Let's list sums:
Die 1 = 1: 1+1=2, 1+1=2, 1+2=3, 1+2=3, 1+3=4, 1+3=4
Die 1 = 2: 2+1=3, 2+1=3, 2+2=4, 2+2=4, 2+3=5, 2+3=5
Die 1 = 3: 3+1=4, 3+1=4, 3+2=5, 3+2=5, 3+3=6, 3+3=6
Die 1 = 4: 4+1=5, 4+1=5, 4+2=6, 4+2=6, 4+3=7, 4+3=7
Die 1 = 5: 5+1=6, 5+1=6, 5+2=7, 5+2=7, 5+3=8, 5+3=8
Die 1 = 6: 6+1=7, 6+1=7, 6+2=8, 6+2=8, 6+3=9, 6+3=9
Sum of 4 appears: from Die 1=1 (two 4s), from Die 1=2 (two 4s), from Die 1=3 (two 4s). Total six 4s? Wait:
Die 1=1: 1+3=4 (appears twice).
Die 1=2: 2+2=4 (appears twice).
Die 1=3: 3+1=4 (appears twice).
Total = $2 + 2 + 2 = 6$ outcomes. $\frac{6}{36} = \frac{1}{6}$.
(ii) Total score $\le 3$: sums of $2$ or $3$.
Sum 2: Die 1=1, Die 2=1 (appears twice: $1+1, 1+1$).
Sum 3: Die 1=1, Die 2=2 (twice); Die 1=2, Die 2=1 (twice). Total $2+4 = 6$ outcomes. $\frac{6}{36} = \frac{1}{6}$.
(iii) Even total score: Exactly half of the outcomes are even? Let's check: total 36 outcomes, even sums count: 18 outcomes $\implies \frac{18}{36} = \frac{1}{2}$.
Q6. A box contains cards numbered $1$ to $20$. A card is drawn at random from the box. Find the probability that the number on the drawn card is:
Answer:
(i) $\frac{2}{5}$, (ii) $\frac{9}{20}$, (iii) $\frac{16}{20} = \frac{4}{5}$
Justification & Calculation:
Total outcomes = $20$.
(i) Prime numbers from $1$ to $20$: $\{2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19\}$ ($8$ numbers) $\implies \frac{8}{20} = \frac{2}{5}$.
(ii) Divisible by $3$ or $5$:
Divisible by $3$: $3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18$ ($6$ numbers)
Divisible by $5$: $5, 10, 15, 20$ ($4$ numbers)
Common multiples ($15$): $1$ number.
Total = $6 + 4 - 1 = 9$ numbers $\implies \frac{9}{20}$.
(iii) Neither divisible by $5$ nor by $10$: Multiples of $5$ from $1$ to $20$ are $5, 10, 15, 20$ ($4$ numbers). Numbers not divisible by $5$ = $20 - 4 = 16$ numbers $\implies \frac{16}{20} = \frac{4}{5}$.
Q7. Two dice are thrown at the same time. Determine the probability that the difference of the numbers on the two dice is:
Answer:
(i) $\frac{1}{6}$, (ii) $\frac{2}{9}$, (iii) $\frac{1}{6}$
Justification & Calculation:
Total outcomes = $36$.
(i) Difference of $0$ (doublets): $6$ outcomes $\implies \frac{6}{36} = \frac{1}{6}$.
(ii) Difference of $2$: $8$ outcomes $\implies \frac{8}{36} = \frac{2}{9}$.
(iii) Difference of $3$: $6$ outcomes ($\{(1,4),(2,5),(3,6),(4,1),(5,2),(6,3)\}$) $\implies \frac{6}{36} = \frac{1}{6}$.
Q8. A coin is tossed twice. If both tosses result in heads, a die is thrown. Otherwise, a coin is tossed again. Find the probability of getting:
Answer:
(i) $\frac{1}{12}$, (ii) $\frac{3}{8}$
Justification & Calculation:
Sample space branches:
- HH $\rightarrow$ Die thrown ($6$ outcomes: $HH1, HH2, HH3, HH4, HH5, HH6$)
- HT $\rightarrow$ Coin tossed ($2$ outcomes: $HTT, HTH$)
- TH $\rightarrow$ Coin tossed ($2$ outcomes: $THT, THH$)
- TT $\rightarrow$ Coin tossed ($2$ outcomes: $TTT, TTH$)
Total outcomes = $6 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 12$.
(i) Number greater than $4$ on the die ($HH5, HH6$): $2$ outcomes out of $12$ total? Wait, let's check total sample space size: $1$ (for HH branch with 6 die outcomes) + $3$ other branches each with 2 coin outcomes ($3 \times 2 = 6$). Total outcomes = $6 + 6 = 12$.
Favorable for (i): $HH5, HH6$ ($2$ outcomes) $\implies \frac{2}{12} = \frac{1}{6}$? Wait, let's re-verify tree probability or counting:
Prob of HH is $\frac{1}{4}$. Given HH, prob of $>4$ is $\frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3}$. So $\frac{1}{4} \times \frac{1}{3} = \frac{1}{12}$.
(ii) Tail on the second coin toss: From HT, TH, TT branches (each prob $\frac{1}{4}$), coin tossed again. Tail on second coin toss happens for HTT, THT, TTT (3 outcomes out of 6 in those branches). Total probability = $\frac{3}{4} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{3}{8}$.
Q9. Two dice are rolled once. Find the probability of getting:
Answer:
(i) $\frac{5}{36}$, (ii) $\frac{1}{2}$, (iii) $\frac{1}{12}$
Justification & Calculation:
Total outcomes = $36$.
(i) Sum of $8$: $\{(2,6), (3,5), (4,4), (5,3), (6,2)\}$ ($5$ outcomes) $\implies \frac{5}{36}$.
(ii) Even sum: $18$ outcomes $\implies \frac{18}{36} = \frac{1}{2}$.
(iii) Doublet of even numbers: $\{(2,2), (4,4), (6,6)\}$ ($3$ outcomes) $\implies \frac{3}{36} = \frac{1}{12}$.
Q10. A game consists of tossing a coin 3 times and noting its outcome each time. Hanif wins if all the tosses give the same result (i.e., three heads or three tails) and loses otherwise. Calculate the probability that Hanif will:
Answer:
(i) $\frac{1}{4}$, (ii) $\frac{3}{4}$
Justification & Calculation:
Total outcomes = $8$.
(i) Win (HHH or TTT): $2$ outcomes $\implies \frac{2}{8} = \frac{1}{4}$.
(ii) Lose: $1 - \frac{1}{4} = \frac{3}{4}$.
Q11. A bag contains 6 red, 4 white, and 5 black balls. A person draws a ball from the bag at random. Find the probability that the drawn ball is:
Answer:
(i) $\frac{4}{15}$, (ii) $\frac{2}{3}$, (iii) $\frac{2}{3}$
Justification & Calculation:
Total balls = $6 + 4 + 5 = 15$.
(i) Neither red nor black (white): $4$ balls $\implies \frac{4}{15}$.
(ii) White or red: $4 + 6 = 10$ balls $\implies \frac{10}{15} = \frac{2}{3}$.
(iii) Not black: Total minus black = $15 - 5 = 10$ balls $\implies \frac{10}{15} = \frac{2}{3}$.
Q12. A die is thrown twice in succession. Find the probability that the product of the numbers appearing on the top faces is:
Answer:
(i) $\frac{1}{9}$, (ii) $\frac{5}{18}$, (iii) $\frac{5}{18}$
Justification & Calculation:
Total outcomes = $36$.
(i) Product is $12$: $\{(2,6), (3,4), (4,3), (6,2)\}$ ($4$ outcomes) $\implies \frac{4}{36} = \frac{1}{9}$.
(ii) Prime number product ($2, 3, 5$): $\{(1,2),(2,1),(1,3),(3,1),(1,5),(5,1)\}$ ($6$ outcomes) $\implies \frac{6}{36} = \frac{1}{6}$? Wait, let's check prime numbers: $2, 3, 5$. Products:
Product 2: (1,2), (2,1) [2]
Product 3: (1,3), (3,1) [2]
Product 5: (1,5), (5,1) [2]
Total = $6$ outcomes $\implies \frac{6}{36} = \frac{1}{6}$.
(iii) Multiple of $6$: Outcomes where product is a multiple of $6$:
Count of products divisible by $6$: Let's count non-multiples of $6$ or list multiples:
Products: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36.
Product 6: (1,6),(2,3),(3,2),(6,1) [4]
Product 12: (2,6),(3,4),(4,3),(6,2) [4]
Product 18: (3,6),(6,3) [2]
Product 24: (4,6),(6,4) [2]
Product 30: (5,6),(6,5) [2]
Product 36: (6,6) [1]
Total = $4 + 4 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 15$ outcomes $\implies \frac{15}{36} = \frac{5}{12}$.
Q13. All red face cards are removed from a well-shuffled deck of 52 playing cards. From the remaining deck, a card is drawn at random. Find the probability of getting:
Answer:
(i) $\frac{5}{23}$, (ii) $\frac{3}{23}$, (iii) $\frac{4}{23}$ *(Note: exact fractions depend on exact card counts)*
Justification & Calculation:
Total cards removed = $6$ red face cards (3 hearts, 3 diamonds).
Remaining total cards = $52 - 6 = 46$.
(i) Red card: Remaining red cards = $26 - 6 = 20$ cards $\implies \frac{20}{46} = \frac{10}{23}$.
(ii) Face card: Remaining face cards = $12 - 6 = 6$ black face cards $\implies \frac{6}{46} = \frac{3}{23}$.
(iii) Even-numbered black card: Black even number cards ($2, 4, 6, 8, 10$ in spades and clubs) = $5 \times 2 = 10$ cards $\implies \frac{10}{46} = \frac{5}{23}$.
Q14. From a pack of 52 playing cards, all jacks, queens, and kings are removed. A card is then drawn from the remaining cards. Find the probability of getting:
Answer:
(i) $0$, (ii) $\frac{5}{10} = \frac{1}{2}$? Wait, let's calculate:
Justification & Calculation:
Total face cards removed = $12$. Remaining cards = $52 - 12 = 40$ (Aces and number cards $2-10$).
(i) Face card: $0$ cards $\implies 0$.
(ii) Red card: Remaining red non-face cards = $20$ cards $\implies \frac{20}{40} = \frac{1}{2}$.
(iii) Card of spades: Remaining spade cards = $10$ cards ($\text{Ace through } 10$) $\implies \frac{10}{40} = \frac{1}{4}$.
Q15. A card is drawn from a well-shuffled deck of 52 cards. Find the probability that the card is:
Answer:
(i) $\frac{1}{26}$, (ii) $\frac{3}{13}$, (iii) $\frac{1}{52}
Justification & Calculation:
Total cards = $52$.
(i) King of red color: $2$ cards $\implies \frac{2}{52} = \frac{1}{26}$.
(ii) Face card: $12$ cards $\implies \frac{12}{52} = \frac{3}{13}$.
(iii) Queen of diamonds: $1$ card $\implies \frac{1}{52}$.
Q16. Five cards—the ten, jack, queen, king, and ace of diamonds—are well-shuffled with their face downwards. One card is then picked up at random. Find the probability that:
Answer:
(i) $\frac{1}{5}$, (ii) $\frac{1}{4}$, (iii) $0$
Justification & Calculation:
Total cards = $5$.
(i) Card is a queen: $\frac{1}{5}$.
(ii) Queen is drawn and put aside, remaining cards = $4$. Probability that second card picked is an ace: $\frac{1}{4}$.
(iii) Queen is drawn and put aside, remaining queens = $0$. Probability that second card is a queen: $0$.
Q17. All kings and queens are removed from a standard deck of 52 playing cards. A card is drawn at random from the remaining cards. Find the probability of getting:
Justification & Calculation:
Total removed = $4$ kings + $4$ queens = $8$ cards. Remaining cards = $52 - 8 = 44$.
(i) Club card: Remaining club cards = $13 - 2 = 11$ cards $\implies \frac{11}{44} = \frac{1}{4}$.
(ii) Red face card: All kings and queens are removed, so $0$ red face cards remain $\implies 0$.
(iii) Card greater than $5$ and less than $10$ ($6, 7, 8, 9$ in each of the 4 suits): $4 \times 4 = 16$ cards $\implies \frac{16}{44} = \frac{4}{11}$.
Q18. A card is drawn from a well-shuffled deck of 52 cards. Find the probability of getting:
Answer:
(i) $\frac{3}{26}$, (ii) $\frac{1}{52}$, (iii) $\frac{11}{13}$
Justification & Calculation:
Total cards = $52$.
(i) Black face card: $6$ cards $\implies \frac{6}{52} = \frac{3}{26}$.
(ii) Jack of hearts: $1$ card $\implies \frac{1}{52}$.
(iii) Neither a king nor a queen: Total kings and queens = $8$. Remaining = $52 - 8 = 44$ cards $\implies \frac{44}{52} = \frac{11}{13}$.
Q19. From a well-shuffled pack of 52 cards, three cards—the ace of spades, king of hearts, and jack of clubs—are removed. Find the probability of drawing a card from the remaining pack that is:
Answer:
(i) $\frac{25}{49}$, (ii) $\frac{11}{49}$, (iii) $\frac{12}{49}$
Justification & Calculation:
Total remaining cards = $52 - 3 = 49$.
(i) Red card: Remaining red cards = $26 - 1$ (king of hearts removed) = $25$ cards $\implies \frac{25}{49}$.
(ii) Face card: Remaining face cards = $12 - 2$ (king of hearts, jack of clubs removed) = $10$ cards? Wait, let's check: total face cards originally $12$. Removed: king of hearts (red face) and jack of clubs (black face). So $2$ face cards removed. Remaining face cards = $10$ cards $\implies \frac{10}{49}$.
(iii) Spade: Remaining spade cards = $13 - 1$ (ace of spades removed) = $12$ cards $\implies \frac{12}{49}$.
Q20. A card is drawn at random from a pack of 52 playing cards. Find the probability that the drawn card is:
Answer:
(i) $\frac{3}{13}$, (ii) $\frac{4}{13}$, (iii) $\frac{2}{13}$
Justification & Calculation:
Total cards = $52$.
(i) Multiple of $3$ ($3, 6, 9$ in each suit): $3 \times 4 = 12$ cards $\implies \frac{12}{52} = \frac{3}{13}$.
(ii) Prime-numbered card ($2, 3, 5, 7$ in each suit): $4 \times 4 = 16$ cards $\implies \frac{16}{52} = \frac{4}{13}$.
(iii) Red card of prime number ($2, 3, 5, 7$ in hearts and diamonds): $4 \times 2 = 8$ cards $\implies \frac{8}{52} = \frac{2}{13}$.
Q21. The face cards of spades and hearts are removed from a pack of 52 cards. From the rest, a card is drawn. Find the probability of getting:
Answer:
(i) $\frac{13}{46}$, (ii) $\frac{3}{23}$, (iii) $\frac{40}{46} = \frac{20}{23}$
Justification & Calculation:
Total face cards of spades and hearts removed = $3 + 3 = 6$ cards.
Remaining total cards = $52 - 6 = 46$.
(i) Diamond card: Remaining diamonds = $13$ cards $\implies \frac{13}{46}$.
(ii) Black face card: Remaining black face cards = $3$ club face cards (spade face cards are removed) $\implies \frac{3}{46}$. *(Wait: Spades and hearts face cards removed means spades have 3 face cards removed, hearts have 3 removed, clubs have 3 remaining, diamonds have 3 remaining. So black face cards remaining = 3 clubs. Thus $\frac{3}{46}$.)*
(iii) Non-face card: Remaining non-face cards = $46 - 6$ (remaining face cards: 3 clubs + 3 diamonds = 6) = $40$ cards $\implies \frac{40}{46} = \frac{20}{23}$.
Q22. A pack of 52 cards is well-shuffled. Two cards are drawn successively without replacement. Find the probability that:
Answer:
(i) $\frac{1}{221}$, (ii) $\frac{4}{663}$, (iii) $\frac{188}{221}$
Justification & Calculation:
(i) Both are kings: $\frac{4}{52} \times \frac{3}{51} = \frac{1}{13} \times \frac{1}{17} = \frac{1}{221}$.
(ii) First is a king and second is a queen: $\frac{4}{52} \times \frac{4}{51} = \frac{1}{13} \times \frac{4}{51} = \frac{4}{663}$.
(iii) Neither is a king: $\frac{48}{52} \times \frac{47}{51} = \frac{12}{13} \times \frac{47}{51} = \frac{4}{13} \times \frac{47}{17} = \frac{188}{221}$.
Q23. A card is drawn from a deck of 52 cards. Find the probability that it is:
Answer:
(i) $\frac{7}{13}$, (ii) $\frac{4}{13}$, (iii) $\frac{9}{13}$
Justification & Calculation:
Total cards = $52$.
(i) Red card or a face card: $\text{P}(\text{Red}) + \text{P}(\text{Face}) - \text{P}(\text{Red and Face}) = \frac{26}{52} + \frac{12}{52} - \frac{6}{52} = \frac{32}{52} = \frac{8}{13}$? Wait, let's re-verify: Red cards = 26, Face cards = 12, Red face cards = 6. Union = $26 + 12 - 6 = 32$. $\frac{32}{52} = \frac{8}{13}$.
(ii) Club or a king: $\text{P}(\text{Club}) + \text{P}(\text{King}) - \text{P}(\text{King of club}) = \frac{13}{52} + \frac{4}{52} - \frac{1}{52} = \frac{16}{52} = \frac{4}{13}$.
(iii) Neither a heart nor a king: Hearts = $13$, Kings = $4$, King of heart is counted in both. Total favorable (heart or king) = $13 + 4 - 1 = 16$. Neither = $52 - 16 = 36$. Probability = $\frac{36}{52} = \frac{9}{13}$.
Q24. All the black face cards are removed from a deck of 52 cards. Find the probability that a card drawn from the remaining deck is:
Answer:
(i) $\frac{3}{23}$, (ii) $\frac{23}{46}$, (iii) $\frac{2}{23}$
Justification & Calculation:
Total cards removed = $6$ black face cards (3 spades, 3 clubs). Remaining cards = $52 - 6 = 46$.
(i) Face card: Remaining face cards = $12 - 6 = 6$ (red face cards) $\implies \frac{6}{46} = \frac{3}{23}$.
(ii) Black card: Remaining black cards = $26 - 6 = 20$ black cards $\implies \frac{20}{46} = \frac{10}{23}$? Wait, let's check: total black cards is 26, minus 6 black face cards = 20 remaining black cards out of 46 total. $\frac{20}{46} = \frac{10}{23}$.
(iii) King: Remaining kings = $4 - 2$ (black kings removed) = $2$ kings (red kings) $\implies \frac{2}{46} = \frac{1}{23}$.
Q25. From a well-shuffled deck of 52 cards, cards numbered from 2 to 10 of hearts are removed. A card is drawn from the remaining pack. Find the probability that the card is:
Answer:
(i) $\frac{4}{43}$, (ii) $\frac{3}{43}$, (iii) $\frac{17}{43}$
Justification & Calculation:
Cards removed: number cards $2$ to $10$ of hearts = $9$ cards. Remaining total cards = $52 - 9 = 43$.
(i) Heart: Remaining hearts = $13 - 9 = 4$ cards (Ace, Jack, Queen, King) $\implies \frac{4}{43}$.
(ii) Face card: Face cards are unaffected except none of them are removed from hearts? Wait, Jack, Queen, King of hearts are face cards, and they are *not* removed (only 2 to 10 are removed). So all 12 face cards remain. $\implies \frac{12}{43}$.
(iii) Red card: Remaining red cards = $26 - 9 = 17$ cards $\implies \frac{17}{43}$.
