Answer
(i) Since, the race is between Mahesh and John.
We can say that,
P(winning of Mahesh) = P(John loosing the race) = 0.54
Hence, the probability of winning of Mahesh = 0.54
(ii) Winning and loosing of John are complementary events.
∴ P(winning of John) + P(loosing of John) = 1
⇒ P(winning of John) + 0.54 = 1
⇒ P(winning of John) = 1 - 0.54 = 0.46
Hence, the probability of winning of John = 0.46
