A drawer contains 10 black and 10 brown socks which are all mixed up. What is the smallest number of socks to be taken from the drawer to decide without seeing them, to be sure that there is atleast one pair of socks of the same colour?





Go to Discussion


Solution

Sock Drawer Problem: Minimum Socks to Guarantee a Pair of Same Color

Given:

  • 10 black socks
  • 10 brown socks
  • All socks are mixed up in the drawer

Goal: Find the smallest number of socks to pick without seeing so that at least one pair of same color socks is guaranteed.


Reasoning:

  • Worst case: you pick one black sock and one brown sock → no pair yet.
  • So after picking 2 socks, you may have no pair.
  • Picking one more sock (3rd sock) ensures that at least two socks must be of the same color (by Pigeonhole Principle).

Answer: The smallest number of socks to pick to guarantee at least one pair of the same color is 3.

If Tuesday falls on the fourth of a month then which day will fall three days after 24th of the same month?





Go to Discussion


Solution

Day Calculation

The 4th of the month is a Tuesday.

Step 1: Find the day on the 24th of the month:

  • 4th (Tuesday) → 11th (Tuesday + 7 days = 1 week)
  • 11th → 18th (Tuesday + 7 days = 1 more week)
  • 18th → 24th (Tuesday + 6 days = 6 days ahead, so 24th is a Monday)

Step 2: Now, calculate 3 days after the 24th (Monday):

  • Monday → Tuesday (1 day)
  • Tuesday → Wednesday (2 days)
  • Wednesday → Thursday (3 days)

Answer: 3 days after the 24th is a Thursday.

Solution



In an examination, there are 100 questions divided into 3 parts A, B, C, and each part should contain at least one question. Each question in parts A, B, and C carry 1, 2 and 3 marks respectively. Part A is for at least 60% of the total marks and part B should contain 23 questions. How many questions must be set in part C?





Go to Discussion


Solution

Given: Total questions = 100, Part B = 23 questions (2 marks each).

Let Part A = a questions (1 mark), Part C = c questions (3 marks).

So, a+23+c=100a+c=77.
Total marks = a+46+3c.
Part A marks ≥ 60% total marks:
a0.6(a+46+3c)
a0.6a+27.6+1.8c
0.4a27.6+1.8c
a69+4.5c.

Using a=77c:
77c69+4.5c85.5cc1.45.
So, c=1.

Answer: Part C has 1 question.

To find the remainder of 231 divided by 5, we look at the cycle of powers of 2 mod 5: 2, 4, 3, 1 (repeats every 4 terms).

31 mod 4 = 3, so 231 corresponds to the 3rd term, which is 3.

Answer: 3
