A is one among 8 horses in a race. A is to be ridden by one of the 3 jockeys P,Q,R. If P rides A all the horses are equally likely to win. If Q rides A, his chances are doubled and if R rides A, his chances are tripled. A die is rolled, if 1 or 2 or 3 appears then P rides A, if 4 or 5 appears then Q rides A, otherwise R rides A. Then the probability that A wins is (A) 1/2 (B) 3/ 16 (C) 5/ 24
