Question

In a box there are 6 blue ball, X red balls & 10 green balls. Probability of choosing one red ball from the given box is . Then find the sum of red and blue balls in the box?

Answer 1

Answer:probability of finding 1 red ball from the box is x/(x+16)

Sum of blue balls and red balls isx+6

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

14

Step-by-step explanation:

1. total (mix of all colors ) balls in  the box= 6+X+10= X+16.

2.probability of getting red ball = X/(X+16)

3. in the question the above step is equal to 1/3

so X/ (X+16) = 1/3

after solving it we get x=8.

4. sum of red and blue balls =8+6= 14.
