Infinity Learn · Accepted Answer

Let D denotes Delhi and I denotes Indore.For $$S1$$, $$9$$ different tickets are available, one for each of the remaining $$9$$ stations. Similarly, for $$S2$$, $$8$$ different tickets are available and so on.Therefore, total number of $$9$$ different tickets $$=$$ $$9$$ $$+$$ $$8$$ $$+$$ $$7$$ $$+$$ $$6$$ $$+$$ $$5$$ $$+$$ $$4$$ $$+3$$ $$+2$$ $$+1$$ $$=$$ $$45Thus$$, the six different tickets must be any six of these $$45$$ and there are clearly as many different sets of $$6$$ tickets as they are combinations of $$45$$ things taken $$6$$ at a time.Hence, the required number $$=45C6$$.
