The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will break down the information provided and calculate the required values systematically.
### Step 1: Determine the number of Yellow and Green balls in Bag A
Given:
- Let the number of Yellow balls in Bag A be \( y \).
- The number of Green balls in Bag A is \( g \).
- It is stated that the number of Green balls is 4 more than the number of Yellow balls:
\[
g = y + 4
\]
### Step 2: Set up the equation based on the probability of picking a Black ball
The probability of picking a Black ball from Bag A is given as \( \frac{5}{13} \). The total number of balls in Bag A is:
\[
y + g + b = y + (y + 4) + b = 2y + 4 + b
\]
Let \( b \) be the number of Black balls. The probability of picking a Black ball can be expressed as:
\[
\frac{b}{2y + 4 + b} = \frac{5}{13}
\]
Cross-multiplying gives:
\[
13b = 5(2y + 4 + b)
\]
Expanding this, we get:
\[
13b = 10y + 20 + 5b
\]
Rearranging gives:
\[
8b = 10y + 20 \quad \Rightarrow \quad b = \frac{10y + 20}{8} = \frac{5y + 10}{4}
\]
### Step 3: Relate \( y \) and \( g \) using the percentage information
We know that \( y \) is \( 18 \frac{2}{11}\% \) less than \( g \). This can be expressed as:
\[
y = g \left(1 - \frac{18 \frac{2}{11}}{100}\right)
\]
Calculating \( 18 \frac{2}{11}\% \):
\[
18 \frac{2}{11} = \frac{200}{11} \quad \Rightarrow \quad \frac{200}{11 \times 100} = \frac{2}{11}
\]
Thus:
\[
y = g \left(1 - \frac{2}{11}\right) = g \left(\frac{9}{11}\right)
\]
Substituting \( g = y + 4 \):
\[
y = (y + 4) \left(\frac{9}{11}\right)
\]
Expanding gives:
\[
11y = 9y + 36 \quad \Rightarrow \quad 2y = 36 \quad \Rightarrow \quad y = 18
\]
Then, substituting back to find \( g \):
\[
g = 18 + 4 = 22
\]
### Step 4: Find the number of Black balls in Bag A
Substituting \( y = 18 \) into the equation for \( b \):
\[
b = \frac{5(18) + 10}{4} = \frac{90 + 10}{4} = \frac{100}{4} = 25
\]
### Step 5: Summary of Bag A
- Yellow balls \( y = 18 \)
- Green balls \( g = 22 \)
- Black balls \( b = 25 \)
Total balls in Bag A:
\[
18 + 22 + 25 = 65
\]
### Step 6: Calculate the number of Yellow balls in Bag B
In Bag B, the number of Yellow balls is \( 22 \frac{2}{9}\% \) more than Bag A:
\[
\text{Percentage} = \frac{200}{9} \quad \Rightarrow \quad \text{More than} = 1 + \frac{200}{900} = \frac{1100}{900} = \frac{11}{9}
\]
Thus:
\[
\text{Yellow balls in Bag B} = 18 \times \frac{11}{9} = 22
\]
### Step 7: Probability of picking two Green balls from Bag B
Given that the total number of balls in Bag B is 75, we need to find the number of Green balls. Let \( g_B \) be the number of Green balls in Bag B:
\[
P(\text{both Green}) = \frac{g_B}{75} \cdot \frac{g_B - 1}{74} = \frac{4}{37}
\]
Cross-multiplying gives:
\[
37g_B(g_B - 1) = 4 \cdot 75 \cdot 74
\]
Calculating the right side:
\[
4 \cdot 75 \cdot 74 = 22200
\]
Thus:
\[
37g_B^2 - 37g_B - 22200 = 0
\]
### Step 8: Solving the quadratic equation
Using the quadratic formula:
\[
g_B = \frac{-(-37) \pm \sqrt{(-37)^2 - 4 \cdot 37 \cdot (-22200)}}{2 \cdot 37}
\]
Calculating the discriminant:
\[
1369 + 4 \cdot 37 \cdot 22200 = 1369 + 3284400 = 3285769
\]
Taking the square root:
\[
\sqrt{3285769} = 1813
\]
Thus:
\[
g_B = \frac{37 \pm 1813}{74}
\]
Calculating the two possible values:
1. \( g_B = \frac{1850}{74} \approx 25 \)
2. \( g_B = \frac{-1776}{74} \) (not valid)
### Step 9: Summary of Bag B
- Yellow balls \( = 22 \)
- Green balls \( = 25 \)
- Black balls \( = 75 - 22 - 25 = 28 \)
### Step 10: Summary of Bag C
Given the ratio of Green to Black balls is \( 7:5 \) and the total is 36:
Let \( 7x + 5x = 36 \Rightarrow 12x = 36 \Rightarrow x = 3 \)
Thus:
- Green balls \( = 21 \)
- Black balls \( = 15 \)
### Step 11: Transfer of balls and final calculation
Let \( x \) Yellow balls from Bag B be transferred to Bag A, and \( 20\% \) of Black balls from Bag A to Bag B.
After transferring:
- Bag A: Yellow \( = 18 - x \), Green \( = 22 \), Black \( = 25 - 0.2 \cdot 25 = 20 \)
- Bag B: Yellow \( = 22 - x \), Green \( = 25 \), Black \( = 28 + 5 = 33 \)
Total balls in Bag B:
\[
(22 - x) + 25 + 33 = 80 - x
\]
Probability of picking a Black ball from Bag B:
\[
P(\text{Black}) = \frac{33}{80 - x} = \frac{11}{26}
\]
Cross-multiplying gives:
\[
33 \cdot 26 = 11(80 - x) \Rightarrow 858 = 880 - 11x
\]
Rearranging gives:
\[
11x = 880 - 858 = 22 \Rightarrow x = 2
\]
### Final Answer
The value of \( x \) is \( \boxed{2} \).
