420 green and red marbles Put into box A and
Box B respectively
1 1/2 times as many red marble as green
marble
-> Let green marble x
3/2x + x = 420
5x = 840
x = 168 = green marble in Box A
Red marble = 252 in Box B
Some yellow marble in Box B
Let's say y no. of yellow marble in B added
for every 3 green marbles in A, 16 blue were
added in Box A
-> green marble in A = 168
for every 3, 16 blue added = 168/3 * 16
= 896 blue added
Now Box A had four times as B
896 + 168 = (252 + y) 4
252 + y = 266
y = 14
Yellow added were 14
now, what is the ratio of number of yellow
to the number of blue marbles
= 14/896
= 1/64
= 1:64
