Let B_i (i = 1, 2, 3) be three independent events in a sample space. The probability that only B₁ occur is $$\alpha $$, only B₂ occurs is $$\beta $$ and only B₃ occurs is $$\gamma $$. Let p be the probability that none of the events B_i occurs and these 4 probabilities satisfy the equations $$\left( {\alpha - 2\beta } \right)p = \alpha \beta $$ and $$\left( {\beta - 3\gamma } \right)p = 2\beta \gamma $$ (All the probabilities are assumed to lie in the interval (0, 1)).
Then $${{P\left( {{B_1}} \right)} \over {P\left( {{B_3}} \right)}}$$ is equal to ________.

In a bombing attack, there is 50% chance that a bomb will hit the target. Atleast two independent hits are required to destroy the target completely. Then the minimum number of bombs, that must be dropped to ensure that there is at least 99% chance of completely destroying the target, is __________.

The probability of a man hitting a target is $${1 \over {10}}$$. The least number of shots required, so that the probability of his hitting the target at least once is greater than $${1 \over {4}}$$, is ____________.
