Sandeep and Varun are playing a series of games. Each of them contributes Rs 1000 to start. Varun's chance of winning an individual game is 3 times that of Sandeep's. They make an agreement that whoever wins 5 games first can take the entire money with him. After first 3 games, Varun has won 1 game and Sandeep has won 2 games. Now they are bored and do not want to play further. So they want to divide the money on the basis of the result of first 3 games. Let x be the money Varun gets and y be the money Sandeep gets

To fairly divide the ₹2000 based on the current game results, we need to calculate the probability of each player winning the entire pot if they were to continue playing. Here's how we can approach this:
### **1. Understanding the Current Situation**
- **Players:** Sandeep and Varun
- **Initial Contribution:** ₹1000 each (Total ₹2000)
- **Current Scores:** Varun has won 1 game, Sandeep has won 2 games.
- **Winning Condition:** First to reach 5 game wins takes the entire pot.
### **2. Calculating Probabilities**
- **Varun's Probability of Winning a Single Game:** 3 times Sandeep's probability.
Let Sandeep's probability be \( p \).
\[
3p + p = 1 \implies p = \frac{1}{4}, \quad \text{Varun's probability} = \frac{3}{4}
\]
- **Remaining Games Needed:**
- Varun needs **4 more wins** to reach 5.
- Sandeep needs **3 more wins** to reach 5.
### **3. Using Recursive Probability**
Define \( P(V, S) \) as the probability Varun wins starting from \( V \) Varun wins and \( S \) Sandeep wins.
- **Base Cases:**
- If Varun reaches 5 wins first: \( P(V, S) = 1 \)
- If Sandeep reaches 5 wins first: \( P(V, S) = 0 \)
- **Recursive Formula:**
\[
P(V, S) = \left(\frac{3}{4}\right) P(V+1, S) + \left(\frac{1}{4}\right) P(V, S+1)
\]
Calculating step by step, we find:
\[
P(4, 3) = \frac{1701}{2048} \approx 0.830566 \quad \text{(Varun's probability)}
\]
\[
P(4, 3) = 0.830566 \times 2000 \approx ₹1661.13
\]
\[
\text{Sandeep's share} = 2000 - 1661.13 = ₹338.87
\]
### **4. Final Division**
- **Varun gets:** **₹1661.13**
- **Sandeep gets:** **₹338.87**
### **Summary**
Given the current standings and their respective probabilities of winning each game, the ₹2000 should be divided as follows:
- **Varun receives approximately ₹1,661.13**
- **Sandeep receives approximately ₹338.87**
