Solution

Dear student
Number of red balls=8Number of green balls=12Let the number of white balls be xand number of blue balls be yLet p1 be the probability of drawing red balland p2 be the probability of drawing blue ballA.T.Qp1=2p288+12+x+y=2y8+12+x+y2y=8y=4So, the number of blue balls in the bag is 4
