Probability that A loses is \frac{3}{7}

Hint:

Use the formula,

P(A) = P(A) + P(B) + P(C)\\ = P(S)\\ = 1

Given:
P(A) = 2P(B) \\ P(B) = 2P(C)

Explanation:

P(A) = 2P(B)\;\; \& \\ P(B) = 2P(C)

It is given that

Let A denoted the probability that A wins.

We know,
P(A)+P(B)+P(C)=1 \\ \Rightarrow P(A)+\frac{P(A)}{2}+\frac{P(A)}{4}=1\\ \Rightarrow7P(A) =4\\ \Rightarrow P(A) =\frac{4}{7 }

Now, the probability that A losses us \Rightarrow P(A') =1-P(A)=1-\frac{4}{7 }=\frac{3}{7 }

Thus, the required probability is \frac{3}{7 }
