A lady had fine gloves and hats. 25 blue, 7 red and 9 gey. She had to select a pair among them. But there was no light so she had to select in darkness the correct pair with a glove and a hat. Therefore how many combinations of same color she can select?

• 25+9+2=36

• If the question was to select at-least 1 pair of each color.
  Assume that in the first 2 picks she got pair of blue, in the next 2 picks she got pair of red,in the next 2,pair of gray.
  So in total 6 picks she got all the 3 pairs.
  But she is in darkness and is not sure what she picked is enough.So to be 100% sure, she considers herself as she picks all blue first(worst case)
  .Then all the gray.
  So in the next 2 picks she is sure that she got atleast pair of red.
  So a total of 25+9+2=36 picks [ans].
