The Question is wrong
if R+B+G=20
and G = 7
so R+B+7=20
R+B=13

So R+B < 13 does not hold good

I agree with Vin
Total Balls = T = 20
G = 7
R+B < 13
so that means G+R+B < T, so there must be a fourth color X to make T=R+G+B+X = 20
X+(R+B) = 13
max(R+B) = 12
If we make the assumption that there must be at least one blue ball, at most there can be 11 red balls.
If we make the assumption that there don't have to be any blue balls, at most there can be 12 red balls.

I dont think Question is complete. As If max number of red balls is 6 then there must be a condition that red and blue balls are equal of less n grater something.

11 coz sum of red and blue balls are less than 13 i.e. 12.....hence, there could be a possibility of having 11 red balls and 1 blue ball
