Question 13

In a bag there are 3 kinds of marbles. These are red marbles, blue marbles and green marbles. Initially the ratio of red, blue and green marbles present in the bag is 2:3:7. Now, a few green marbles are taken out from the bag and some red and some blue marbles are put into the bag such that the new ratio of red, blue and green marbles is 4:5:9. What is the minimum possible number of red marbles which were put into the bag?
