In the case of 5 cities we have = 4+3+2+1 = 4*5/2 =10

so, in the case of 30 cities we will have = 29+28....+1 = 29*30/2 =435

B

IMO B..

1st person -> 29 cities
2nd person -> 28 cities (1 city already covered by 1st person)
3rd person -> 27 cities (2 cities already covered by 1st and 2nd person)
...
... so on

So, Total = (29+28+27+26+....+3+2+1) = (29*30)/2 = 435

Thanks guys!

Its the concept that is more important for me to know than to know how did one get the answer.
