• There is a trick to solve these types of puzzles . Use the formula bigger + middle +3
  
  You can see 40 - bigger , 27 - middle , 13 - smaller
  
  So , the solution is 40 + 27 + 3 = 70

• 40 + 26 + (1+1) + 2 = 70

• 13C2*27C2*40C2 will be the answer...we have to select atleast one pair...and for which we have to pick 2 gloves from each..

• Here add big number then middle number then last number i,e
  40+27+2 = 69 But here 40 is even number and 27 is an odd number so add +1
  So 69+ 1 = 70 Ans !

• G=40(Paired)
  B=27(Paired)
  R=2(We need to take at least 2 Red Gloves for making pair)
  So Total=69

• consider the worst case probability..let consider we first find green gloves.so 40
  now we find black...we take 26 gloves.so our next pick will be 1 black + 1 red gloves...which doesn't make a pair
  now our next pick will be 2 red gloves
  so total pick=40+26+1+1+2=70
