3)
N = 4
as
12 red , 7 white and N blue
smallest K = 15 such that you have 6 sample of same color

so we can choose 5 maximum red shirts , 5 white shirts to not have 6 sample of same color
and now if N is 5 or more then we can choose 5 blue shirts
then we will have total 5 +5 + 5 = 15 shirts but no 6 shirts of same color

but it is given K = 15 ,
hence N = 4
then
we can choose 5 + 5 + 4 = 14 shirts which are of different color
now any shirt of red or white will make it six shirts of same color

Note that N can't be less than 4
as in that case
minimum value of K won't be 15 , it will be less than that
