Let Bfi=1,2,3 be three independent events in a sample space. The probability that only B1 occur is α,only B2occurs is β and only B3occurs is γ. Let p be the probability that none of the eventsBf occurs and these 4 probabilities satisfy the equations α−2βp=αβand β−3γp=−2βγ (All the probabilities are assumed to lie in the interval (0, 1). Then PB1PB3is equal to _________.

Detailed Solution
Let x, y, z be probability of B1, B2, B3 respectively⇒ x1−y1−z=α ⇒y1−x1−z=β⇒ z1−x1−y=γ ⇒1−x1−z=P Putting in the given relation we get x = 2y and y = 3z ⇒ x=6z ⇒xz=6
