A plane is travelling from Pakistan to USA making 4 stops on the way. Two different passengers having 2 different tickets board the flight after the plane has left from Pakistan. What are the possible sets of tickets the two passengers may have?
(Note: The two passengers can have tickets for either of the stops including USA)
The plane has already left Pakistan and has 4 stops on the way.
Let the first customer be represented as A
Let the second customer be represented by B
Let the four stops be 1,2,3,4
Then:
The above follows for customer B as well.
Hence the possible sets of tickets the two passengers may have - Total 6 possibilities each for A and B:
For customer A - {(A,1,2) (A,1,3) (A,1,4) (A,2,3) (A,2,4) (A,3,4)}
For customer B - {(B,1,2) (B,1,3) (B,1,4) (B,2,3) (B,2,4) (B,3,4)}
Overall there are a possibility of 6*6=36 combinations combined for both customer A and B.
