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.

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).

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