Question

A bag contains 11 black, 8 blue, 5 red and 6 yellow balls. If 10 green balls are now added to the bag , what will be the percentage of blue balls in the bag now?

• A. $20$%
• B. $25$%
• C. $22$%
• D. $\frac{80}{3}$%

Answer 1

The correct option is A

$20$%

Total no. of balls in the bag = 11 + 8 + 5 + 6 + 10 = 40

No. of blue balls = 8

$\therefore$ Percentage of blue balls = $\frac{8}{40}\times 100$ = $20$%
