Ace doesn't comes under face card. King, queen and jack are called as face cards. There are 12 face cards.

In the question itself they mentioned that face card (king, queen and joker) so 4c1+4c1+4c1/52c2=3/13.

If the only king is mentioned as face card then you have to solve as per king only.

In R.S agarwal the ace is specified as face card. So totally we have 16 face cards.

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