Yes dude there are 3 face card in a set i.e king,queen,jack...
So total face card is 12 ,
Hence 12/52=3/13..

@Rani
in Aces there is no face... like king, queen, joker
so aces shouldn't count.

But in this question they mentioned face cards in bracket na? so no confusion. Answer should be 3/13.

In the question the thing asked about is (jack,queen & king only) so 4*3=12 face card,they didn't ask about aces(total face card=16).

No dude check the wikipedia there are only 12 face cards in deck cards.
So total number of face cards are only 12.
So answer is 3/13.

Why it is 4+4+4 why it is not 4*4*4. Please anyone tell me.

@Rajarshi,
"AND" means "MULTIPLICATION","OR" means "ADDITION"
In this we are given to draw a single card from J, Q, K means
J OR Q OR K means 4+4+4.
Hope you are cleared.
Thanks..!
