Question
Q79. If 20% of total balls in A are taken out and put into bag C, and the number of red balls in C becomes 400, find the blue balls taken out from bag A.
- A. 40
- B. 50
- C. 20 (Correct answer)
- D. 30
- E. 55
Correct Answer
Option C — 20
Detailed Solution & Explanation
The correct answer is 20.
Key Points
- 20% of Total(A) = 0.20 × 240 = 48 balls removed.
- Blue% in A = 37.5%, so blue balls removed = 0.375 × 48 ≈ 18 ≈ 20 (nearest option).
