Two cards players, peter and parul,have Rs 100 in the pot . They have agreed that the first player to win 5 games shall win the pot. Each player has an equal chance of winning each play.after peter has won 4 times and parul has won 3 times ,the game is interrupted and they have to stop playing and share money . What?s the most fair amount of money that peter should get?

(A)50 (B)75 (C)66.75 (D) 80

Read Solution (Total 2)

Rs 75

Chances of parul winning 5 games before peter = 0.5*0.5 =0.25
so chances of Peter winning 5 games before parul= 1-0.25=0.75

so ratio should be 3:1
