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

• taking d worst case scenario,
  if she picks up all d 32 red,1 pair of red must be there
  now she picks up 24 of 25 yellow,1 pair of yellow must be there
  after that,the last yellow n one from blue,i.e 2
  at last,17 blue remaining......she picks up 2 of them.....got the pair of blue
  so,adding all these, [32+24+2+2]=60

• 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
