Answer: Yes.

The remaining 2/3 elephants left could be a mix of blue and green shared equally.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of elephants= 1200

Number of possible colours=3 (blue,green and pink)

Number of pink elephants =1/3 of 1200

Number of pink elephants =1/3×1200

Pink elephants are 400

The remaining fraction will b 1-1/3=2/3

Total number of elephants - number of pink elephants = remaining number of elephants => 1200-400=800

It is true that 400 elephants are definitely blue because the number of elephants remaining is twice 400

Given:

Total number of elephants = 1200

Colours available:

Blue

Pink

Pink & green

Pure Pink = 1/3 of 1200

= 1/3 × 1200

= 1200/3

Pure Pink = 400

Elephants remaining = Total number of elephants - Pure Pink

= 1200 - 400

= 800

Therefore, it is true that 400 elephants are definitely blue because the number of elephants remaining is twice 400
