Expert Solution
Step 1

We know that 

There are 52 cards in the deck divided into two colour i.e red(26) and black (26). These black cards divided into spade(13) and club (13) and red cards divided into heart(13) and diamond(13). These 13 are further divided into K, Q, J, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, A. There are 12 face cards, 3 each of suit (Spade,club, heart, diamond) have K,Q,J.

 

Note: The combination formula is 

nCr = n!/(n-r)!r!
