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`.
The difference between the number of Green balls in bag A and bag C is how much more/less per cent than the sum of the number of Black balls in bag A and bag C together?

A

`100%`

B

`95%`

C

`97.5%`

D

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the information provided for each bag and calculate the required values. ### Step 1: Determine the number of balls in Bag A Let: - \( y \) = number of Yellow balls in Bag A - \( g \) = number of Green balls in Bag A From the problem, we know: 1. \( g = y + 4 \) (the number of green balls is 4 more than the number of yellow balls) 2. The probability of picking a Black ball from Bag A is \( \frac{5}{13} \). The total number of balls in Bag A can be expressed as: \[ \text{Total in A} = y + g + b \] where \( b \) is the number of Black balls. Using the probability of picking a Black ball: \[ \frac{b}{y + g + b} = \frac{5}{13} \] Rearranging gives: \[ 13b = 5(y + g + b) \] \[ 13b = 5(y + (y + 4) + b) \] \[ 13b = 5(2y + 4 + b) \] \[ 13b = 10y + 20 + 5b \] \[ 8b = 10y + 20 \] \[ b = \frac{10y + 20}{8} = \frac{5y + 10}{4} \] ### Step 2: Relate \( y \) and \( g \) We are also told that \( y \) is \( 18 \frac{2}{11}\% \) less than \( g \): \[ y = g \left(1 - \frac{18 \frac{2}{11}}{100}\right) \] Converting \( 18 \frac{2}{11} \) to a fraction: \[ 18 \frac{2}{11} = \frac{200}{11} \] Thus: \[ y = g \left(1 - \frac{200}{1100}\right) = g \left(\frac{900}{1100}\right) = g \left(\frac{9}{11}\right) \] ### Step 3: Substitute \( g \) in terms of \( y \) From \( g = y + 4 \): \[ g = \frac{11y}{9} \] Setting the two expressions for \( g \) equal: \[ y + 4 = \frac{11y}{9} \] Multiplying through by 9 to eliminate the fraction: \[ 9y + 36 = 11y \] \[ 2y = 36 \] \[ y = 18 \] Now substituting back to find \( g \): \[ g = y + 4 = 18 + 4 = 22 \] ### Step 4: Determine the number of Black balls in Bag A Using the value of \( y \): \[ b = \frac{5y + 10}{4} = \frac{5(18) + 10}{4} = \frac{90 + 10}{4} = \frac{100}{4} = 25 \] ### Step 5: Total number of balls in Bag A \[ \text{Total in A} = y + g + b = 18 + 22 + 25 = 65 \] ### Step 6: Determine the number of Yellow balls in Bag B In Bag B, the number of Yellow balls is \( 22 \frac{2}{9}\% \) more than in Bag A: \[ \text{Yellow in B} = 18 \left(1 + \frac{22 \frac{2}{9}}{100}\right) \] Converting \( 22 \frac{2}{9} \) to a fraction: \[ 22 \frac{2}{9} = \frac{200}{9} \] Thus: \[ \text{Yellow in B} = 18 \left(1 + \frac{200}{900}\right) = 18 \left(\frac{1100}{900}\right) = 22 \] ### Step 7: Determine the number of Green balls in Bag B Let \( g_B \) be the number of Green balls in Bag B. The total number of balls in Bag B is 75, and the probability of picking two Green balls is \( \frac{4}{37} \): \[ \frac{g_B}{75} \cdot \frac{g_B - 1}{74} = \frac{4}{37} \] Cross-multiplying gives: \[ 37g_B(g_B - 1) = 4 \cdot 75 \cdot 74 \] \[ 37g_B^2 - 37g_B = 22200 \] Rearranging gives: \[ 37g_B^2 - 37g_B - 22200 = 0 \] ### Step 8: Solve 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: \[ 1369 + 3284400 = 3285769 \] Taking the square root: \[ \sqrt{3285769} = 1813 \] Thus: \[ g_B = \frac{37 \pm 1813}{74} \] Calculating the positive root: \[ g_B = \frac{1850}{74} = 25 \] ### Step 9: Determine the number of Black balls in Bag B Total balls in Bag B = 75: \[ b_B = 75 - (22 + 25) = 28 \] ### Step 10: Determine the number of balls in Bag C In Bag C, the ratio of Green to Black balls is \( 7:5 \) and the total is 36: Let \( 7x + 5x = 36 \) gives \( 12x = 36 \) thus \( x = 3 \). - Green balls = \( 7x = 21 \) - Black balls = \( 5x = 15 \) ### Step 11: Calculate the difference in Green balls Difference in Green balls between Bag A and Bag C: \[ 22 - 21 = 1 \] ### Step 12: Calculate the sum of Black balls Sum of Black balls in Bag A and Bag C: \[ 25 + 15 = 40 \] ### Step 13: Calculate the percentage difference Percentage difference: \[ \frac{1}{40} \times 100 = 2.5\% \] ### Final Answer The difference between the number of Green balls in Bag A and Bag C is **2.5%** less than the sum of the number of Black balls in Bag A and Bag C together.
