The best mathematical solution I read for this sort of problems is like this:
ReplyDeleteThe number of horizontal lines required to go from A to B= 2
The number of horizontal lines required to go from A to B = 2
Total number of ways = (2+2)C2 = 4C2 = 6
But, I could not figure out how he arrived at this formula? Which logic/concept used here?
One thing for sure is this logic works out for similar types with more horizontal and vertical lines.
Any Idea??
