In a certain race there are three boys A, B, C. The winning
probability of A is twice than B and the winning probability
of B is twice than C. If `P(A) + P(B) + P(C) = 1`, then find the probability of each boy.

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
P (A) = `(4)/ (7)` , P (B) = `(2)/(7)`, P (C) = `(1)/(7)`
