Option 1 : Quantity 1 > Quantity 2 > Quantity 3
Quantity 1:
Probability of getting a six = 1/6
Probability of not getting a six = 5/6
For B to win, A must not get a six and B must.
Probability = (5/6) × (1/6) + (5/6) × (5/6) × (5/6) × (1/6) + (5/6) × (5/6) × (5/6) × (5/6) × (5/6) × (1/6) + .......
This becomes a Geometric progression of infinite terms.
a = 5/6 × 1/6 = 5/36
r = 5/6 × 5/6 = 25/36 = 0.69
Sum of infinite terms = a/(1 - r) = (5/36)/(1 - 25/36) = 5/11
Quantity 2:
let the fraction be p/q.
Now, according to condition,
(p + 1)/q = 150% of p/q
On solving, p = 2
Now, 2/(q + 3) = 1/4
q + 3 = 8
q = 5
Fraction is p/q = 2/5 = 0.4
Quantity 3:
Excess weight than the average = (15.3 - 12.6) × 2 = 5.4 kg
Now, this excess weight will be divided in 14 people of the new group.
Increase in weight of every member = 5.4/14 = 0.39 kg.
Hence, Quantity 1 > Quantity 2 > Quantity 3
