A ship is fitted with three engines E_1,E_2 and E_3 . The engines function independently of each other with respective probabilities 1/2, 1/4, and 1/4 . For the ship to be operational at least two of its engines must function. Let X denote the event that the ship is operational and let X_1, X_2 and X_3 denote, respectively, the events that the engines E_1, E_2 and E_3 are function. Which of the following is/are true?

Of the three independent events E_(1),E_(2),and E_(3), the probability that only E_(1) occurs is alpha only E_(2) occurs is beta, and only E_(3) occurs is gamma. Let the probability p that none of events E_(1),E_(2), or E_(3) occurs satisfy the equations (alpha-2beta)p=alpha betaand (beta-3gamma)p=2betagamma. All the given probabilities are assumed to lie in the interval (0,1). Then ("Probability of occurrence of"E_(1))/("Probability of occurence of"E_(3))=
