The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will analyze both Quantity I and Quantity II step by step. ### Quantity I: We know the following: - Total number of balls = 50 - Probability of picking a green ball (P(G)) = 3/5 - Probability of picking either a green or orange ball (P(G or O)) = 4/5 1. **Calculate the number of green balls (G)**: The probability of picking a green ball is given by: \[ P(G) = \frac{\text{Number of green balls}}{\text{Total number of balls}} = \frac{G}{50} \] Setting this equal to the given probability: \[ \frac{G}{50} = \frac{3}{5} \] Cross-multiplying gives: \[ G = 50 \times \frac{3}{5} = 30 \] 2. **Calculate the number of orange balls (O)**: The probability of picking either a green or orange ball is: \[ P(G \text{ or } O) = \frac{G + O}{50} \] Setting this equal to the given probability: \[ \frac{G + O}{50} = \frac{4}{5} \] Cross-multiplying gives: \[ G + O = 50 \times \frac{4}{5} = 40 \] Now substituting the value of G: \[ 30 + O = 40 \implies O = 40 - 30 = 10 \] So, the number of orange balls in Quantity I is **10**. ### Quantity II: We know the following: - Total number of balls = 40 - Probability of picking an orange ball (P(O)) = 3/8 - If the first ball was orange and without replacement, the probability of picking a green ball (P(G|O)) = 4/13 1. **Calculate the number of orange balls (O)**: The probability of picking an orange ball is given by: \[ P(O) = \frac{O}{40} \] Setting this equal to the given probability: \[ \frac{O}{40} = \frac{3}{8} \] Cross-multiplying gives: \[ O = 40 \times \frac{3}{8} = 15 \] 2. **Calculate the number of green balls (G)**: After removing one orange ball, the total number of balls becomes 39. The probability of picking a green ball now is: \[ P(G|O) = \frac{G}{39} \] Setting this equal to the given probability: \[ \frac{G}{39} = \frac{4}{13} \] Cross-multiplying gives: \[ G = 39 \times \frac{4}{13} = 12 \] 3. **Calculate the number of yellow balls (Y)**: The total number of balls is 40, so: \[ Y = 40 - (G + O) = 40 - (12 + 15) = 40 - 27 = 13 \] So, the number of yellow balls in Quantity II is **13**. ### Summary of Results: - Quantity I (Number of orange balls) = **10** - Quantity II (Number of yellow balls) = **13** ### Conclusion: Since 13 (Quantity II) is greater than 10 (Quantity I), we conclude that: **Quantity II > Quantity I**.

To solve the problem, we will analyze both Quantity I and Quantity II step by step. ### Quantity I: We know the following: - Total number of balls = 50 - Probability of picking a green ball (P(G)) = 3/5 - Probability of picking either a green or orange ball (P(G or O)) = 4/5 ...
