1Sir, nothing else is given :(
Two players of equal skill, A and B, are playing a set of games; they leave off playing when A wants 3 points and B wants 2. If the stake is Rs. 16, what share ought each to take?

62You have not explained if the poits are +1, 0 or +1, -1
that will make a huge diference..
What you will probably need is a recurrence relation/...
62to be true . i did not understand the question at all...
Can you tell the source of this one?
62hmm.. then i have no idea of what is there in their mind
this is a question of random walk.. (evne though you should not worry too much about hte word)
but i think they have not specified somethign or i have no clue of what the question is :(
1This is not at all my original solution. It is a copied one.
A win may in the following manner:-
1) W W W
2) W W L W
3) W L W W
4) L W W W
P(A)= 1/8 + 3c1(1/2)(1/2)2(1/2)
=1/8 + 3/16
=5/16
P(B)= 11/16
A gets 5/16 *16 Rs. =5
B gets 11/16 *16 Rs. =11
1A win may in the following manner:-
1) W W W
2) W W L W W
3) W L W W W
4) L W W W W
now it can be done
62no injun.. if you are solving the modified question that i have given.. then you need to think more..
There will be recursion involved.
