Question
A basket contains x green apples, (x + 2) red apples and (x
+ 10) yellow apples. If probability of getting a red apple is 1/8 more than that of getting a green apple, then find the probability of getting a yellow apple.Solution
ATQ,
(x + 2 – x)/(3x + 12) = 1/8
Or, 3x + 12 = 16
Or, x = 4/3
So, desired ratio = (4/3 + 10)/(16) = 34/48 = 17/24
