Two persons \(A\) and \(B\) are throwing an unbiased six faced dice alternatively, with the condition that the person who throws 3 first wins the game. If \(A\) starts the game, then probabilities of \(A\) and \(B\) to win the same are, respectively

  1. A \(\frac{6}{11}, \frac{5}{11}\)
  2. B \(\frac{5}{11}, \frac{6}{11}\)
  3. C \(\frac{8}{11}, \frac{3}{11}\)
  4. D \(\frac{3}{11}, \frac{8}{11}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{8}{11}, \frac{3}{11}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Here, probability of success, \(p=\frac{1}{6}\) and probability of failure. \(q=\frac{5}{6}\) Let \(A\) starts the game, then…
