Answer 2

Total number of B blocks is 350.

Total number of blocks = 4 = A B C and D

Ratio of the blocks =  4:7:3:1

Let the number of the blocks A be = 4x

Let the number of the blocks B be = 7x

Let the number of the blocks C be = 3x

Let the number of the blocks D be = 4x

Number of more A blocks = 50

Therefore,

4x = 3x + 50

= 4x - 3x = 50

= x = 50

Thus,  the number of ‘B’ blocks is -

7 × 50 = 350.

Hence, the total number of B blocks is 350.
