  1. Total number of balls = 12
    Total number of white balls = x
    ∴ P (getting a white ball) = {tex}\frac{x}{12}{/tex}
  2. 6 more white balls are put in the bag
    ∴ total number of balls = 18
    Total number of white balls = x + 6
    ∴ P (getting a white ball) = {tex}\frac{x+6}{18}{/tex}  
    But, according to the question= {tex}2\times \frac{x}{12}=\frac{x+6}{18}{/tex}   
    ⇒ {tex}x=\frac{x+6}{3}{/tex}
    ⇒ 3x = x+6, 2x=6
    ⇒x = 3
