According to my opinion, ace is a face card, thus the ans is 16/52.

How does 4*3=12? I'm not getting it. Can any one explain it?

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

Isn't Ace also a face card? in that case it would be 16/52

n(s) = 52c1.
n(e) = 4c1+4c1+4c1.
p(e) = 12/52 = 3/13.
n(e) = 4c1+4c1+4c1.
p(e) = 12/52 = 3/13.

Correct answer 3/13.
P(1/13+1/13+1/13) = 3/13.
P(1/13+1/13+1/13) = 3/13.
