Pascal and Fermat are playing a coin tossing game. If head comes up Pascal gets a point whereas a tail fetches a point for Fermat. The first person to collect three points wins the game and gets the prize of Rs 12. Unfortunately, the game is stopped abruptly with Pascal having 2 points and Fermat 1. So they decide to share the prize money in a ratio that matches the probability of them winning the game if it had continued. How should they divide the Rs 12?
Ans: Pascal 9 and Fermat 3
