    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the number of red marbles in the bag = ‘4x’

    Then, number of yellow marbles in the bag = (5/4) × 4x = ‘5x’

    And, number of green marbles in the bag = (3/1) × 5x = ‘15x’

    According to the question,

    4x + 5x + 15x = 96

    Or, 24x = 96

    Or, x = (96/24) = 4

    So, number of yellow marbles in the bag = 5x = 5 × 4 = 20
