A lady has fine gloves and hats in her closet- 18 blue, 32 red, and 25 yellow. The lights are out and it is totally dark. In spite of the darkness, she can make out the difference between a hat and a glove. She takes out an item out of the closet only if she is sure that if it is a glove. How many gloves must she take out to make sure she has a pair of each color?
a) 50 b) 8 c) 60 d) 42

• As lights are off, lets see the draws for the worst case scenario first we remove 32 red, then 24 yellow, then 1 yellow 1 blue
  and then 2 blue
  Thus we get pair for all colors
  So total = 60
