      B 15 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 34 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 22 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      According to question, (x + 17)/[(x + 7) + (x + 12) + (x + 17)] = 4/9 Simplify and solve for x: 9(x+17) = 4(3x + 36) 9x +153 = 12x+ 144 12x -9x = 153-144 3x = 9 x= 3 Therefore, number of orange balls in the bag = 3 + 12 = 15
