Question

Choose the correct answer from the alternatives given :
Yogesh has some red balls, some green balls and some blue balls. Blue balls are one more than twice the number of green balls, while green balls are 2 more than half of red balls. What can be the total number of balls with Yogesh?

• A. 16
• B. 52
• C. 48
• D. 26

Answer 1

The correct option is B 52

Blue balls (B) 2 $\times$ Green balls (G) + I
G = $\frac{1}{2}\times$ Red balls (R) +2
Total number of balls = B -~ R + G
=(2G + 1) + (2x (G - 2)) + G = 5G - 3
So, number should be a multiple of 5 and after subtracting 3 from that only 52 is present in the options which satisfies this condition.
