उत्तर

 3 : 2

Let P(B) = x
Then, P(A) = \[\frac{2x}{3}\]

P(A) + P(B) = \[x + \frac{2x}{3} = \frac{5x}{3}\]

\[\Rightarrow \frac{5x}{3} = 1\]
   (∵ They are exhaustive events)

\[\Rightarrow x = \frac{3}{5}\]

Now,

\[P(A) = \frac{2}{5} and P\left( B \right) = \frac{3}{5}\]
 
∴ Odd in favour of B = \[\frac{3/5}{1 - 3/5} = \frac{3}{2} = 3: 2\]
