Solution

For making green point, the ratio of
yellow point & blue point will be
$\frac{Y e l l o w P}{B l u e P} = \frac{3}{2}$
Now, 12 litres of yellow point are use
so, $\frac{12 l i t r e s}{B l u e P} = \frac{3}{2}$
Blue P = $\frac{12 \times 2}{3} = 8 l i t r e s$
$\to$ Painter uses 8 Litres of Blue Points.
