Only three students, S(1),S(2) and S(3) ...

Only three students, `S_(1),S_(2) and S_(3)` appear at a compettive examination. The probability of `S_(1)` coming first is 3 times that of `S_(2)` and the probability of `S_(2)` coming first is three times that of `S_(3)`. Find the probability of each coming first. Also find the probability that `S_(1) or S_(2)` comes first.
