Description : A bag contains a white and b black balls. Two players A and B alternately draw a ball from the bag -Maths 9th
Last Answer : (c) 2 : 1Let W denote the event of drawing a white ball at any draw and B that of drawing a black ball. Then, P (W) = \(rac{a}{a+b},\) P(B) = \(rac{b}{a+b}\)∴ P (A wins the game) = P (W or BBW or BBBBW or ... ... the given condition,\(rac{a+b}{a+2b}\) = 3. \(rac{b}{a+2b}\) ⇒ a = 2b ⇒ a : b = 2 : 1.
