Number of red balls in the bag = 5
Let number of blue balls in the bag = x
Now, total number of balls in the bag = x + 5
i.e., n( S) = n + 5
(i) Let ‘A’ be the favourable outcomes of getting blue balls, then
n( A) = x
Therefore,
P(A) =
(i) Let 'B' be the favourable outcomes of getting red balls, then
n(B) = 5
Therefore,
P(B) =
According to question :
P(A) = 4 P (B)
Hencem the number of blue balls in the bag is 20.
