Question

Two friends Ajay and Sujay have 24 marbles in all, distribution between them. If a marble is drawn from Ajay's hand, its probability is 2/3. Find the number of marbles they each have. What life-value do you observe here

Answer 1

If logically done:

24 is a multiple of 3

Probability that marble is drawn from ajay's hand is 2/3

Total marbles are 24

3*8=24

2/3=

$2 \times 8 \div 3 \times 8 = 16 \div 24$

Therefore ajay had 16 marbles.

Thetefore sujay had 24-16=8
