Dear student 
 If Sonia had taken out 10 candies then there is a chance that all candies are taken out twice.

If Sonia had taken out 10 candies then there is a chance that all candies are taken out twice. So for taking a candy thrice she will pull out one more candy So 11 candies should be taken out.
