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, inspite of 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 colour?

• Depend on number of gloves of each color.
  
  If all 18 blue- 32 red and 25 yellow are gloves, then atleast 59 gloves must be taken out to make sure she has a pair of each colour.

• haiiii i am geting another solutioon.............. frst we hav to take 32 (think tht it came all red) and then 25 (think tht all yellow may come) after that only 2 blue is enough we will get all color pairs......... so it is sum of all the available number and subtract the number which is 2 less than the least num ...... here 18+32+25=75...... 75-(18-2)=75-16=59.......... where hats topic here given is not needed.. and if the 59 is not given then the least maximum nmber than 59 will bw ans....... means if 60,61,62,63 are given better to go for 60............

• Ans :- 32+25+2=59
  Explanation :- Since she need pair of each color . Now taking the worst case ;suppose she have taken all the 32 of red , then 25 of yellow color . But now she still need glove of blue color . So she need to have 2 more so that she has pair of blue too.
  
  In the Best case she need only 6 (2+2+2)

• Here there is no logic just follows following formula.
  Add max two numebers
  32+25=57 now add 1,2 or 3 according to given in options..
  So answer from given options is 57+3=70.

• 1st she takes a glove it is blue/red
  2nd blue/red
  3rd blue/red
  after taking 3 she will definitely have 2 gloves of blue or red
  
  so the answer is 3

• in first lady takes 32 gloves r red in color
  
  she go for next pickup that may be yellow or blue
  
  we assume is it yellow
  
  after then she pickups 24 yellow gloves
  
  only one yellow be there probability for getting blue also
  
  so 1+1 yellow +blue
  
  so now there is no yellow and red gloves
  
  so she pickup 2 gloves which must be in blue
  
  
  32+24+2+2=60
  
  ans :60...........
