Answer 2

Answer:

In darkness three socks must he taken from drawer to get a matching pair

Explanation:

Alex has only black and white socks.

In darkness if he takes out one sock it will be either black or white. Let us assume the sock to be black.

The second sock will be either black or white. If the sock turns out to be black he will have a matching pair.

If not, he will take another sock, it will be either black or white. In both the conditions, Alex will get a matching pair.
