  1. The ratio of number of balls in bags x,y is 2 : 3. Five balls are taken from bag y and are dropped in bag x. Number of balls are equal in each bag now. Number of balls in each bag now is
    1. 45
    2. 20
    3. 30
    4. 25
Correct Option: B

Number of balls in bag x and y respectively = 2a and 3a
∴  3a – 5 = 2a + 3
⇒  a = 5 + 3 = 8
∴  Total number of balls
= 5a = 40
∴  Balls in each bag = 20
