Study the given information and answer the following questions.
There are three bags A, B and C. In each bag there are three types of coloured balls - Yellow, Green and Black In bag A the number of Yellow balls is y and the number of Green balls is g. The number of green balls is 4 more than the number of Yellow balls. When one ball is picked at random then the probability of getting Black ball is `5//13` . The value of y is `18 2/11%` less than g. In bag B, the number of Yellow balls is `22 2/9%` more than that of bag A. If two balls are picked at random from bag B then the probability of getting both Green colour balls is `4//37`. The total number of balls in bag B is 75. In bag C, the ratio of the number of Green balls to the number of Black balls is 7:5. The total number of Green and Black balls is 36. If one of the balls, is picked at random t hen the probability of getting one Yellow ball is `7//13`.
x number of Yellow balls from bag B are taken and placed into bag A and `20%` of black balls from bag A are taken and placed into bag B. If we pick one ball from bag B then the probability that the ball is of Black colour is 11/26.Then find the value of x.

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 \( \boxed{2} \).
