I hope 25 is the correct answer..... Because if red balls are same in equal number as blue balls .Thus, the 20+5=25 is correct answer because the ratio of balls become 5 : 3.

mathstudent: oh thanks both of you
hrishi08072005: see,20 red balls are removed
thakurabhishekpe2gqa: by solving this
mathstudent: ok then
hrishi08072005: and 5x=20
thakurabhishekpe2gqa: -2x = -80
thakurabhishekpe2gqa: then x=40......is correct answer
hrishi08072005: so 20 and the20 which were removed before when added=40
thakurabhishekpe2gqa: are u understand......
mathstudent: yes.
