How many paths are there from \(C\) to \(B\), if every step must be up or to the right?

To get from A to C  we have this possible path

 

right up up

 

But we could select the  "ups" to be in any two of the three positions

 

So  C(3,2)  = 3 possible paths from A to C

 

To get from  C to B  we have this possible path

 

right  right right  right    up  up

 

But we could select the "ups" to occupy any two of the six positions

 

So C(6,2)  = 15 possible paths from C to B

 

So...the total possible paths from A to B  = 3 * 15  =  45

 

 

cool cool cool
