A bag contains a white and b black balls...

A bag contains `a` white and `b` black balls. Two players, `Aa n dB` alternately draw a ball from the bag, replacing the ball each time after the draw till one of them draws a white ball and wins the game. `A` begins the game. If the probability of `A` winning the game is three times that of `B ,` then find the ratio `a : b`
