In a box there are $50$ gold rings of $10$ different sizes and $75$ silver rings of $12$ different sizes. The size of a gold ring might be the same as that of a silver ring. What is the minimum number of rings one need to pick up to be sure of having at least two rings different both in size and material?

i also agreed with Tahmid and Hasib. Size of gold rings might be the same size of silver rings.

What if among the 12 sizes of the silver ring 10 of them are same as the 10 sizes of the gold ring.so shudnt the size of the gold rings be a subset of the sizes of the silver rings. so with worst case scenario I think the answer shud be (50+73+1)=124. Please let me know if there is any bug in my answer.
