Answer:_______________

Answer: 91

SOLUTION 1 :

A jar contains 168 marbles each of which is blue, green and white.

n(S) = 168.

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) = $\frac{x}{168}$

⇒ P(S) = 1.

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

$\frac{2}{12}$ + $\frac{7}{24}$ + $\frac{x}{168}$ = 1

28 + 49 + x ÷ 168 = 1 LCM = 168

77 + x = 168

x = 168 - 77

x = 91.

Number of white balls = 91

Answer: 65

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) = $\frac{1}{6}$ .

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) = $\frac{x}{156}$

⇒ P(S) = 1.

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

$\frac{1}{6}$ + $\frac{5}{12}$ + $\frac{x}{156}$ = 1

26 + 65 + x ÷ 156 = 1 LCM = 156

91 + x = 156

x = 156 - 91

x = 65.

Number of white balls = 65

Answer: 54

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) = $\frac{1}{8}$ .

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) = $\frac{x}{96}$

⇒ P(S) = 1.

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

$\frac{1}{8}$ + $\frac{5}{16}$ + $\frac{x}{96}$ = 1

12 + 30 + x ÷ 96 = 1 LCM = 96

42 + x = 96

x = 96 - 42

x = 54.

Number of white balls = 54

Answer: 95

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) = $\frac{7}{30.}$

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

$\frac{2}{15}$ + $\frac{7}{30}$ + $\frac{x}{150}$ = 1

20 + 35 + x ÷ 150 = 1 LCM = 150

55 + x = 150

x = 150 - 55

x = 95.

Number of white balls = 95

Answer: 55

SOLUTION 1 :

A jar contains 100 marbles each of which is blue, green and white.

n(S) = 100.

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

Given:

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

Probability of drawing green marbles, P(G) = $\frac{5}{20.}$

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

⇒ P(G) = n(G) / n(S) = $\frac{x}{100}$

⇒ P(S) = 1.

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

$\frac{2}{10}$ + $\frac{5}{20}$ + $\frac{x}{100}$ = 1

20 + 25 + x ÷ 100 = 1 LCM = 100

45 + x = 100

x = 100 - 45

x = 55.

Number of white balls = 55

Answer: 63

SOLUTION 1 :

A jar contains 90 marbles each of which is blue, green and white.

n(S) = 90.

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

Given:

Probability of drawing blue marble, P(B) = $\frac{1}{15}$ .

Probability of drawing green marbles, P(G) = $\frac{7}{30.}$

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

⇒ P(G) = n(G) / n(S) = $\frac{x}{90}$

⇒ P(S) = 1.

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

$\frac{1}{15}$ + $\frac{7}{30}$ + $\frac{x}{90}$ = 1

6 + 21 + x ÷ 90 = 1 LCM = 90

27 + x = 90

x = 90 - 27

x = 63.

Number of white balls = 63

Answer: 88

SOLUTION 1 :

A jar contains 160 marbles each of which is blue, green and white.

n(S) = 160.

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

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

⇒ P(G) = n(G) / n(S) = $\frac{x}{160}$

⇒ P(S) = 1.

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

$\frac{2}{10}$ + $\frac{5}{20}$ + $\frac{x}{160}$ = 1

32 + 40 + x ÷ 160 = 1 LCM = 160

72 + x = 160

x = 160 - 72

x = 88.

Number of white balls = 88

Answer: 66

SOLUTION 1 :

A jar contains 120 marbles each of which is blue, green and white.

n(S) = 120.

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

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

⇒ P(G) = n(G) / n(S) = $\frac{x}{120}$

⇒ P(S) = 1.

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

$\frac{1}{10}$ + $\frac{7}{20}$ + $\frac{x}{120}$ = 1

12 + 42 + x ÷ 120 = 1 LCM = 120

54 + x = 120

x = 120 - 54

x = 66.

Number of white balls = 66

Answer: 27

SOLUTION 1 :

A jar contains 108 marbles each of which is blue, green and white.

n(S) = 108.
