B Correct answer
Explanation

Total cards = 52. Ram takes one card (Queen of Spades). Remaining cards = 51. Total spades remaining = 13 - 1 = 12. Probability that Shyam draws a spade = 12 / 51 = 4 / 17.

AI explanation

After Ram removes the queen of spades, the deck has 51 cards remaining, including exactly 12 spades. The probability of drawing a spade is the number of spades left divided by the total cards left. This yields 12 out of 51, which simplifies to 4/17.
