a bag contain 24 balls out of which x are white .if one ball drawn at random ,the probability of drawing white ball is "y".12 more white balls are added to the bag .now if a ball is drawn from the probability of drawing white ball is "5/3y" .find the value of x?

Dear Student,

Probability of drawing a white ball = number of white balltotal number of ballsGiven: y = x24             ....1According to question, when 12 more white balls are added,probability of drawing a white ball = 5y3So, 5y3 = x+1224+125y3 = x+12365y = x+1212substituting value of y from equ.15×x24 = x+12125x2 = x+125x = 2x+243x = 24x = 243 = 8
