mother-father-mother
father-mother-father
order does not matter
father-father-mother

Answer 1

Answer:

father-mother-fatger

Answer 2

Given:

The person who has a higher probability of winning the game = father

To find:

In which order should the game be played so that the mathematician's mother has a chance of winning.

Solution:

If the mathematician allowed his father to play consecutively then he could win the game as he has a higher probability of winning, thus the order that must be followed in the game should be:

mother-father-mother or father-mother-father

Otherwise if he choses the order as father-father-mother then his father could win the game.

Option A and B are correct.
