The correct answer is: 49

Probability of winning of A =P(A)=46=23

P(A¯)=1-P(A)=13

Probability of winning of B =P(B)=35

P(B¯)=1-P(B)=25

Probability of winning of C =P(C)=23

P(C¯)=1-P(C)=13

Probability of winning atleast means one player will loose =P(A¯)P(B)P(C)+P(A)P(B¯)P(C)+P(A)P(B)P(C¯)

=13×35×23+23×25×23+23×35×13

=49
