Answer : 2. "54"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 54 Explanation: Let R, G and B represent the number of balls in red, green and blue boxes respectively. Then, . R + G + B = 108 ...(i), G + R = 2B ...(ii) B = 2R ...(iii) From (ii) and (iii), we have G + R = 2x 2R = 4R or G = 3R. Putting G = 3R and B = 2R in (i), we get: R + 3R + 2R = 108 6R = 108 R = 18. Therefore Number of balls in green box = G = 3R = (3 x 18) = 54.
