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.

hi  vidhya the method u did is correct but the equation 4n+1 is not equal to no of balls the equation is 4(n-1) plz check it out

m-3=3*n...........(1) (n-1)*4=m.........(2) so, no of urns =7and no of balls =24

7 urns and 24 balls

let 3m+3=0

and 4m+1=0

then by solving we

the answer as so

let

 n=no. of Urns

and m= no of ball

now, 3n+3=m   and   4n+1=m

solving this two we get n=2(urns)  and  m= 9(balls)

There n urns and m  balls.

3n + 3 = m
4n + 1 = m

Sove this we will get n = 2 and m = 9
