A box contains 12 balls out of which x are black. If one ball is drawn at random from the
box, what is the probability that it will be a black ball?
If 6 more black balls are put in the box, the probability of drawing a black ball is now

Total number of black balls = x

Total number of balls = 12

P(E) = (Number of favourable outcomes/ Total number of outcomes)

P (getting black balls) = x / 12 ——-(i)

Now, when 6 more black balls are added,

Total balls become = 18

∴ Total number of black balls = x + 6

Now, P (getting black balls) = (x + 6)/18------(i)

Solving equation (i) and (ii)

x = 3

Answer:

Total number of balls = 12

Total number of black balls = x

P (getting a black ball) = x/12

If 6 more black balls are put in the box, then

Total number of balls = 12 + 6 = 18

Total number of black balls = x + 6

P (getting a black ball now) = x + 6 /18

Atq,

2(x/12) = ( x+. 6 /18)

3x = x+6

2x=6

x = 3

plzz mark as brainliest answer !!!
