We always have to consider worst-case-scenarios
hance for a) to pick out a pair if we pick up 2 socks the worst case is that they are of diff colors
but in the third lift they will be of either 1 color and hence we have a pair
so a)3
b)for blue socks
in the worst case here we have 12 grey socks in the first 12 lifts
after that grey socks get over and all socks picked will be blue
hence answer is 14
and so on for grey
for 1 pair of each color, the worst case in b) is alrwady considerd hence 14
hope u understand
