      Ravi has 98 marbles of two colours – green and yellow. If

      he bought 28 more yellow marbles, the ratio of green to yellow marbles would become 3:4. Find how many yellow marbles Ravi originally had.
      A 24 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 64 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 34 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 44 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Let the number of green and yellow marbles after buying 28 more be ‘3x’ and ‘4x’ respectively.

      ATQ:

      3x + 4x = 98 + 28

      7x = 126

      x = 18

      Number of yellow marbles after buying = 4x = 4 × 18 = 72

      Number of yellow marbles Ravi originally had = 72 - 28 = 44
