Let number of blue balls in the bag =x
Total no of balls in bag =5+x [No. of redball =5]
Probability of drawing a blue ball = Total no of ball /No. of blue ball
P(B)= 5+x /x
Probability of drawing a Red ball =
Total no of ball
No. of red ball
P(R)= 5+x /5
Given,
P(B)=2P(R)
x /5+x =2( 5)/5+x
x=10
Hence, no. of blue balls in the bag =10.
