2 answers:
Ratio of Small to large marbles in the bag=1:3
It means ,number of small marbles in the bag will be multiple of 1 and number of Larger marbles in the bag will be multiple of 3.
So, number of small marbles be x and number of large marbles be 3x.
It is also given that, there are eight more large marbles than small marbles in the bag.

x=4
Number of Small marbles =4 Marbles
Number of Large Marbles =4×3=12 Marbles
