Angela has 14 pairs of matched socks. If she loses 7 individual socks, which of the following is NOT a possible number of matched pairs she has left?
Choose the correct answer
A) 8
B) 9
C) 10
D) 11
E) 12
I think if Angela loses 7 individual socks,then she is bound to have lost minimum of 3 pairs and 1 individual sock,in this way she is left with only 10 pairs of socks (14-(3+1)).   Hence,11 cannot be the answer as maximum is 10.   Hence, option (11)
<result>D</result>
