The minimum number of socks that she needs to get such that a pair is always formed is 5.

<h3></h3><h3>How many socks must she get to be ensured of having a pair?</h3>

We know that she has:

  • 10 white socks.
  • 10 black socks
  • 10 brown socks
  • 10 blue socks.

First, we need to compute the maximum number of socks she needs to take in such a case that no pair is formed.

That will be 4, and represents the case where:

1 white sock, 1 black sock, 1 brown sock, and 1 blue sock are drawn. At that point, no pairs are formed.

Now, if she draws another sock, a pair will always be formed.

From this, we conclude that if she draws 5 socks, always at least one pair will be formed.

How many of the numbers from 10 through 97 have the sum of their digits equal to a perfect​ square?
Anarel [89]
Perfect squares are:
1,4,9,16,25,36,49,64,81,100,....

the sum of the digits of our biggest number is 16 so any perfect square bigger than 16 doesn't work for us
1-
1+0=1 so any number containing the digits will work(keep in mind we only will look into whole numbers because digits can't be negative or have fractions or be irrational)
thereful 10 works for our category
2-
0+4=4
1+3=4
2+2=4
22 13 31 and 40 will work two
3-
0+9
1+8
2+7
3+6
4+5
90 18 81 27 72 36 63 45 54
4-
0+16
1+15
2+14
3+13
4+12
5+11
6+10
7+9
8+8
79 97 88

so our set of numbers contain:
10 22 13 31 40 90 18 81 27 72 36 63 45 54 79 97 88
