Answer Posted / yadav

lady has fine gloves means she has gloves in pair so there
are 12 pair of yellow gloves and 1 yellow hat is there.
now start with large number say 32 for red then 24 yellow
now one yellow hat is there so now she has 18 blue gloves out
of them 9 are for left hand and 9 of right hand so may be
first 9 will be of same hand then there is no pair of blue
gloves is there so she has to pick one more glove. so total

32+24+9+1=66 but no option is there
