Answer:
John had collected 48 red balls
Explanation:
Given John is collecting white and red balls in a bag
The sequence of putting the bag is: 3 White balls followed by 2 red balls
Number of times the balls were put in the bag is determined by:
No. of times = [tex]\frac{120}{3+2}=\frac{120}{5}=24 \text { times }[/tex]
Total number of red balls put in a bag = 24 × 2 = 48
Therefore, John had collected 48 red balls
