LICIC II
BIUund:
6. During a TV game show, picking a blue ball earn you 2 points and picking a red ball
earn 5 points. The balls are to be picked blindly from a box and one contestant can
pick exactly 10 balls. A boy picked 10 balls and earned 35 points. How many red and
blue balls he picked?​

Answer 1

Answer:5 red balls and 5 blue balls

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that,

1 blue balls = 2 points

Hence, If we take 5 such balls then,

2*5= 10 points

After 5 balls are gone, We are left with more 5 balls,

1 red ball = 5 points

Hence, taking 5 such balls

5*5=25 points

On adding all the points,

10+25 =35, which is the total no of points he got after picking 10 balls.

Hope you understand the answer.
