Twenty-four blue socks and twenty-four red socks are lying in a drawer in a dark room. what is the minimum number of socks you need to pull out of the drawer so that you are sure to have at least two blue socks

26 socks

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a total of 48 socks here. Let us assume you pulled out 24 socks at a go and all are red. Now, you would have exhausted the number of red socks here. You would be left with only blue socks which you can pull one after the other to give a total of  26 socks pulled out to have 2 blue socks at least.

b is 38 degrees.

a is 52 degrees.

this is because if b is 38 and a is 14 degrees more than b than 38+14=52 and 52+38=90 degrees. hope this .
