• She has to be sure that she has a pair of each colour...
  so if we take worst case scenario i.e she pulls out gloves of same colour every time...
  so 1st she pulls out 32 red gloves then 25 yellow gloves and then after pulling out 2 gloves out og 18 green globes she is sure to have a pair of each gloves.....

  and two number of lower value
  32+25+2=59

• 65
  18=12+6(pair of gloves n 1hat for each)
  So at last 10 gloves will be left at worst case.
  So(75-10)=65.m/

• i think if we take out 3 gloves after then if any one of gloves takes out thnn it will be pair of a color for sure. so we have to take out 4 gloves at least. i m not sure.

• not all of them are gloves,(lady has common sense!!)
  18=6 hats + 12 gloves
  32=10 hats + 22 gloves
  25=9 hats +16 gloves
  (division by 3,if reamainder is 1 its a hat else its pair of gloves)
