Method I:
 
    (a) RGRGRGRGR  (5 red and 4 Green), As Identical balls this is one arragnement (1)
    (b) ___G____G____G____G(Four places for 5 red balls. 2 red balls wil be placed in one place and remaining one for one), So in 4 way it can be done (4)
    (c)G___G___G___G___ (fill up like option b in reverse order) again (4)
    (d) G___G___G___G (Three places for 5 red balls. 2 balls will be placed in any two places and remaining one will be placed in remaining place), so 3 way it can be done (3)
 
 So answer is 1+4+4+3=12
 
Method II:
 
 Let take the arrangement    ____R____R_____R_____R_____R____
 
So 4 green balls can be arranged in 6 places, so it is in    6 C4 way, but in some of the arrangement 3 red balls comes together.We can’t take those arrangement. those are GRRRGRGRG, GRGRGRRRG and GRGRRRGRG
 
So answer is   6 C-3=15-3=12
