Sudhir I tried solving the sum below way..

Total possible tickets from A to B would be 6! = 720.
Now one has to choose 3 out of 6!(720) possibilities.
Hence answer is 720C3.

Is this approach correct?
Regards,
Chitts

Thanks a lot all for the discuss..
the answer is 15C3..

here it goes..

Ist station ... from where they could have bought tickets to any one of the five destination in 5 ways..

2nd station..
Ist station ... from where they could have bought tickets to any one of the four destination in 4 ways

sinilarly all.. hence it would be 5+4+3+2+1= 15 ways

hence 15 tickets are available out of which 3 tickets are to be choosen ..
therefore

15C3.

Please let me know if u guys are not claer on this...

Thanks All
