Answer
In a standard deck of playing cards, each suit contains four face cards:
- Jack: Represents the figure of a young man, traditionally known to be a servant or a soldier.
- Queen: Represents the figure of a young woman, often portrayed as a noble or royal figure.
- King: Represents the figure of a mature man, typically symbolizing authority and power.
Each suit (hearts, diamonds, clubs, and spades) has one of each face card, making it a total of 12 face cards in a full deck (3 face cards x 4 suits).
