Answer:

  • 33 white, 3 blue, 14 red

Step-by-step explanation:

  • White = w, Blue = b, Red = r

Given:

  • w = 11b
  • r < w
  • b < r
  • w + b + r = 50

The last equation can be written as:

  • 11b + b + r = 50
  • 12b + r = 50

Possible values of b are 1, 2, 3, 4

  • Since b < r, we exclude b = 4

If b = 1

  • w = 11,
  • r = 50 - 12 = 38 but number of red should be less than white, excluded as r < w is not met

If b = 2

  • w = 22,
  • r = 50 - 24 = 26, still same condition as above, excluded as r < w is not met

If b = 3

  • w = 33,
  • r = 50 - 36 = 14, this is the only correct option to consider
