Answer:
(A) 4NStep-by-step explanation:
Number of red balls = N
Number of black balls = 3 × N = 3N
(A) Total number of balls in the box = Number of red balls + Number of red balls
= N + 3N
= 4N
(B) After removing 8 balls, total number of balls left = 4N - 8
So, according to the question,
4N - 8 = 24
(C) Solving for N,
4N = 32
N = 32/4
Thus,
N = 8
