It is dark in my bedroom and I want to get two socks of the same color from my drawer, which contains 24 red and 24 blue socks. How many socks do I have to take from the drawer to get at least two socks of the same color?
a) 2 b) 3 c) 48 d) 25

• 3.
  when I take out 2 socks, they can be of same colour or of 2 different colors.
  
  But third sock will definitely make pair with one of earlier two socks.
