A bag contains some marbles. Half is given to A, one third of remaining to B and rest to C. If C has twice the number of marvels than B, how many marbels are there in all?
Answer :
Let bag contains total marbles = x
So, According to given information , Half is given to A
So,
A has total marbles =
Remaining marbles after given half to A = x - =
From remaining one third of remaining to B , So
B has total marbles = =
So
C has total marbles = - = =
And also given C has twice the number of marbles than B , SO we get
C has total marbles = 2 ( B has total marbles )
= 2 ( )
=
So here we can't find how many balls in the bag , there is some information is missing ,
As we take x = 30
Than
A = 15
B = 5
And
C = 10
Or if we take x = 60
Than
A = 30
B = 10
And
C = 20
So value of total balls in bag could be anything as here we have relationship between number of balls with A , B and C ,
