Correct Answer - Option 3 : 3

Given:

The bag contains 15 red balls and some green balls.

The probability of drawing a green ball = 1/6

Formula used:

Probability = number of favourable outcomes/total number of possible outcomes

Calculation:

Let the total no. of balls in the bag = n

According to the question:

1/6 = (n - 15)/n

⇒ n = 6n - 90

⇒ n = 18

∴ Green balls = 18 - 15 = 3
