    • Karanteacher

      Which are the 4 ways? Can you try to find more.

  • Student 4

    16 ways
    GBRO
    GRBO
    GORB
    GOBR
    In this manner, each ball will have this pattern

    • Student 4

      So 4×4=16

  • Student 11

    6

  • Student 11

    Sorry there are 12

  • Student 2

    12 ways

  • Student 4

    Actually 12 ways because if we start with red or blue then we have only one way for those, so we lose 4 ways

  • Student 14

    1)ORBG
    2)OBRG
    3)GRBO
    4)GBRO

    3)GRBO

  • Student 1

    i think there are 12 ways

  • Student 21

    it 6

  • Student 21

    its 12
    BRGO
    BROG
    RBOG
    RBGO
    GBRO
    OBRG
    GRBO
    ORBG
    OGBR
    GOBR
    OGRB
    GORB

  • Student 21

    advik’s answer is
    its 12
    GRBO
    GBRO
    GORB
    RBOG
    RBGO
    BRGO
    BROG
    OBRG
    ORBG
    OGRB
    GOBR
    OGBR

  • Student 9

    If we assume RB = BR, then the answer will be
    1)RBOG
    2)RBGO
    3)GRBO
    4)ORBG
    5)OGRB
    6)GORB
    Or else the answer will be
    1)RBOG
    2)RBGO
    3)GRBO
    4)ORBG
    5)OGRB
    6)GORB
    7)BROG
    8)BRGO
    9)GBRO
    10)OBRG
    11)OGBR
    12)GOBR

  • Student 15

    So, sir, we have to stick red and blue together so we can assume them as 1 ball and so we can calculate the answer for 3, but if we change the position from rb to br it has the same value so we can multiply the number of balls for three into 2 as it is getting repeated because of the change in the positioning of red blue to blue red.

  • Student 3

    12 ways
    6 ways as RB and 6 ways as BR

  • Student 17

    I got 12 ways,6 blue then red and 6 red then blue
