Atrack coach wanted to know how fast an average 7th grade girl at her school could run a 400- meter dash. there are 55 seventh graders at her school. how could the track coach find a reasonable estimate for the average 400- meter time?
a) by randomly asking one of the 7th grade girls how fast she could run
b) by randomly timing one 7th grade girl and using that time
c) by randomly timing two 7th grade girls and average their times
d) by randomly timing twenty 7th grade girls and averaging their times.

Ответ:
since each ball has a different number and if no two pairs have the same value there is going to be 14∗14 different sums. Looking at the numbers 1 through 100 the highest sum is 199 and lowest is 3, giving 197 possible sums
For the 14 case, we show that there exist at least one number from set {3,4,5,...,17} is not obtainable and at least one number from set {199,198,...,185} is not obtainable.
So we are left with 197 - 195 options
14 x 14 = 196
196 > 195
so there are two pairs consisting of one red and one green ball that have the same value
As to the comment, I constructed a counter-example list for the 13 case as follows. The idea of constructing this list is similar to the proof for the 14 case.
Red: (1,9,16,23,30,37,44,51,58,65,72,79,86)
Green: (2,3,4,5,6,7,8;94,95,96,97,98,99,100)
Note that 86+8=94 and 1+94=95 so there are no duplicated sum
Step-by-step explanation:
For the 14 case, we show that there exist at least one number from set {3,4,5,...,17} is not obtainable and at least one number from set {199,198,...,185} is not obtainable.
First consider the set {3,4,5,...,17}.
Suppose all numbers in this set are obtainable.
Then since 3 is obtainable, 1 and 2 are of different color. Then since 4 is obtainable, 1 and 3 are of different color. Now suppose 1 is of one color and 2,3,...,n−1 where n−1<17 are of the same color that is different from 1's color, then if n<17 in order for n+1 to be obtainable n and 1 must be of different color so 2,3,...,n are of same color. Hence by induction for all n<17, 2,3,...,n must be of same color. However this means there are 16−2+1=15 balls of the color contradiction.
Hence there exist at least one number in the set not obtainable.
We can use a similar argument to show if all elements in {199,198,...,185} are obtainable then 99,98,...,85 must all be of the same color which means there are 15 balls of the color contradiction so there are at least one number not obtainable as well.
Now we have only 195 choices left and 196>195 so identical sum must appear
A similar argument can be held for the case of 13 red balls and 14 green balls
