From the problem we can find derive an equation ,

3n+3 = m and

4n+1 = m .

That is total number of balls = Number of balls in 'n' urns + excess balls

When we solve this, we will get 2 urns and 9 balls.

   eqs1: total ball 3n+3

   eqs2: total ball 4(n-1)

so,   3n+3 = 4n -4

0r,    n = 7

so 7 urns, 24 balls

The number of balls should be divisable by both 3 and 4. The numbers which are divisable by 3 and 4.



12 -> here the no of urns shoud be 3 at first case, but it is not suitable for the next case.



24 -> here the no of urns should be 7 at the first case, and it also satisfies the second case 24/4=6, so 1 urn will be remaining. . . .



Hence Answer is There are 24 Balls and 7 Urns.
