Detailed Solution

Given that there are 81 marbles.
Probability of selecting white is 1 3 .
Probability of selecting black is 4 9 .
According to the question,
P green =1 P black +P white =1 1 3 + 4 9 = 2 9
Therefore,
 Number of green marbles =  total number of marbles  P( green ) =81 2 9 =18
Number of green marbles = 18.
