(b) The probability of throwing $9$ with two dice $ = \frac{4}{{36}} = \frac{1}{9}$

$	herefore $ The probability of not throwing $9$ with two dice $ = \frac{8}{9}$

If $A$ is to win he should throw $9$ in $1^{st}$ or $3^{rd}$ or $5^{th}$ attempt

If $B$ is to win, he should throw, $9$ in $2^{nd} , 4^{th}$ attempt

$	herefore $ $B$'s chances

$ = \left( {\frac{8}{9}} ight)\,.\,\frac{1}{9} + {\left( {\frac{8}{9}} ight)^3}.\,\frac{1}{9} + .... = \frac{{\frac{8}{9} 	imes \frac{1}{9}}}{{1 - {{\left( {\frac{8}{9}} ight)}^2}}} = \frac{8}{{17}}$.
