There are three types of marbles in the bag namely green, blue and yellow.
There are two ratios given to us green to blue and green to yellow.
IF we transform the ratio such that we make the green marbles constant for both the ratio we get a new ratio for three marbles:
\(G:B:Y = 6:21:10\)
Clearly there are more Blue marbles than yellow marbles.
