Answer: 13

SOLUTION 1 :

A jar contains 156 marbles each of which is blue, green and white.

n(S) = 156.

w.k.t P(S) = 1.

Given:

Probability of drawing blue marble, P(B) = $\frac{2}{6}$ .

Probability of drawing green marbles, P(G) = $\frac{7}{12.}$

Let X be the number of white marbles, n(W) = x.

⇒ P(G) = n(G) / n(S) = $\frac{x}{156}$

⇒ P(S) = 1.

p(B) + P(G) + P(W) = 1

$\frac{2}{6}$ + $\frac{7}{12}$ + $\frac{x}{156}$ = 1

52 + 91 + x ÷ 156 = 1 LCM = 156

143 + x = 156

x = 156 - 143

x = 13.

Number of white balls = 13

Answer: 81

SOLUTION 1 :

A jar contains 144 marbles each of which is blue, green and white.

n(S) = 144.

w.k.t P(S) = 1.

Given:

Probability of drawing blue marble, P(B) = $\frac{1}{8}$ .

Probability of drawing green marbles, P(G) = $\frac{5}{16.}$

Let X be the number of white marbles, n(W) = x.

⇒ P(G) = n(G) / n(S) = $\frac{x}{144}$

⇒ P(S) = 1.

p(B) + P(G) + P(W) = 1

$\frac{1}{8}$ + $\frac{5}{16}$ + $\frac{x}{144}$ = 1

18 + 45 + x ÷ 144 = 1 LCM = 144

63 + x = 144

x = 144 - 63

x = 81.

Number of white balls = 81

Answer: 52

SOLUTION 1 :

A jar contains 96 marbles each of which is blue, green and white.

n(S) = 96.

w.k.t P(S) = 1.

Given:

Probability of drawing blue marble, P(B) = $\frac{2}{12}$ .

Probability of drawing green marbles, P(G) = $\frac{7}{24.}$

Let X be the number of white marbles, n(W) = x.

⇒ P(G) = n(G) / n(S) = $\frac{x}{96}$

⇒ P(S) = 1.

p(B) + P(G) + P(W) = 1

$\frac{2}{12}$ + $\frac{7}{24}$ + $\frac{x}{96}$ = 1

16 + 28 + x ÷ 96 = 1 LCM = 96

44 + x = 96

x = 96 - 44

x = 52.

Number of white balls = 52

Answer: 36

SOLUTION 1 :

A jar contains 144 marbles each of which is blue, green and white.

n(S) = 144.

w.k.t P(S) = 1.

Given:

Probability of drawing blue marble, P(B) = $\frac{2}{6}$ .

Probability of drawing green marbles, P(G) = $\frac{5}{12.}$

Let X be the number of white marbles, n(W) = x.

⇒ P(G) = n(G) / n(S) = $\frac{x}{144}$

⇒ P(S) = 1.

p(B) + P(G) + P(W) = 1

$\frac{2}{6}$ + $\frac{5}{12}$ + $\frac{x}{144}$ = 1

48 + 60 + x ÷ 144 = 1 LCM = 144

x = 144 - 108

x = 36.

Number of white balls = 36

Answer: -23

SOLUTION 1 :

A jar contains 184 marbles each of which is blue, green and white.

n(S) = 184.

w.k.t P(S) = 1.

Given:

Probability of drawing blue marble, P(B) = $\frac{1}{4}$ .

Probability of drawing green marbles, P(G) = $\frac{7}{8.}$

Let X be the number of white marbles, n(W) = x.

⇒ P(G) = n(G) / n(S) = $\frac{x}{184}$

⇒ P(S) = 1.

p(B) + P(G) + P(W) = 1

$\frac{1}{4}$ + $\frac{7}{8}$ + $\frac{x}{184}$ = 1

46 + 161 + x ÷ 184 = 1 LCM = 184

207 + x = 184

x = 184 - 207

x = -23.

Number of white balls = -23

Answer: 105

SOLUTION 1 :

A jar contains 150 marbles each of which is blue, green and white.

n(S) = 150.

w.k.t P(S) = 1.

Given:

Probability of drawing blue marble, P(B) = $\frac{2}{15}$ .

Probability of drawing green marbles, P(G) = $\frac{5}{30.}$

Let X be the number of white marbles, n(W) = x.

⇒ P(G) = n(G) / n(S) = $\frac{x}{150}$

⇒ P(S) = 1.

p(B) + P(G) + P(W) = 1

$\frac{2}{15}$ + $\frac{5}{30}$ + $\frac{x}{150}$ = 1

20 + 25 + x ÷ 150 = 1 LCM = 150

45 + x = 150

x = 150 - 45

x = 105.

Number of white balls = 105

Answer: 42

SOLUTION 1 :

A jar contains 96 marbles each of which is blue, green and white.

n(S) = 96.

w.k.t P(S) = 1.

Probability of drawing blue marble, P(B) = $\frac{1}{8}$ .

Probability of drawing green marbles, P(G) = $\frac{7}{16.}$

Let X be the number of white marbles, n(W) = x.

⇒ P(G) = n(G) / n(S) = $\frac{x}{96}$

⇒ P(S) = 1.

p(B) + P(G) + P(W) = 1

$\frac{1}{8}$ + $\frac{7}{16}$ + $\frac{x}{96}$ = 1

12 + 42 + x ÷ 96 = 1 LCM = 96

54 + x = 96

x = 96 - 54

x = 42.

Number of white balls = 42

Answer: 138

SOLUTION 1 :

A jar contains 180 marbles each of which is blue, green and white.

n(S) = 180.

w.k.t P(S) = 1.

Answer: 63

SOLUTION 1 :

A jar contains 140 marbles each of which is blue, green and white.

n(S) = 140.

w.k.t P(S) = 1.

Given:

Probability of drawing blue marble, P(B) = $\frac{2}{10}$ .

Probability of drawing green marbles, P(G) = $\frac{7}{20.}$

Let X be the number of white marbles, n(W) = x.

⇒ P(G) = n(G) / n(S) = $\frac{x}{140}$

⇒ P(S) = 1.

p(B) + P(G) + P(W) = 1

$\frac{2}{10}$ + $\frac{7}{20}$ + $\frac{x}{140}$ = 1

28 + 49 + x ÷ 140 = 1 LCM = 140
