Question

Explain why in a drawer containing only two different colors of socks one must draw only three socks to find a matching pair.

Choose the correct answer below.

Regardless of the number of different colors of socks in the drawer, one must only draw one more sock than the desired number of matching socks in order to get a matching set. Therefore, in order to get two matching socks, one must draw only three from the drawer.

If there are only two colors of socks in the drawer, then of any two chosen, both must be the same color.

If there are only two colors of socks in the drawer, then of any 3 chosen, two must be the same color.

It is not the case that one must draw only three socks to find a matching pair.
