Can we do it in multiples, like let us denote white with 'w' and red with 'r'?
So for purse 1, we can denote it in the form w+3r
For purse 2, we can denote it in the form 3w+2r
Now we know that in the final sequence, w=r, so by adding both equations we get 4w+5r.
Now for 4w+ 5r only 1 sequence seems to fit which is 20,50 as any other value will exceed the value in the options available.
