The correct answer is

21

Calculation:

Given: n(Z) = 90 and the number of elements in Y and Z are in the ratio 4 : 5

To find: b = ?

n(Y) = 16 + 18 + 17 + b

n(Z) = 12 + 18 + 17 + c = 90 

\(\rm \frac{n(y)}{n(z)}=\frac{16+18+17+b}{12+18+17+c}=\frac{4}{5}\\ \Rightarrow \frac{51+b}{90}=\frac{4}{5}\\ \Rightarrow (51+b)\times 5=360 \\\Rightarrow255+5b=360\\ \Rightarrow5b=105\\ \Rightarrow b=21\)

Hence, option (3) is correct.
