Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 14

Given:

6 blue balls, X red balls and 10 green balls are there in box

Probability of choosing one red ball from the given box = 1/3

Calculation:

Probability of getting red ball = Number of red balls/Total number of balls

Calculation:

Total balls in the box= 6 + X + 10 = X + 16.

Probability of getting red ball = X/(X + 16)

According to question:

X/(X + 16) = 1/3

⇒ X = 8

∴ The sum of red and blue balls in the box = 8 + 6 = 14
