Example:-
To correctly wire 8 pin connector-
There are 8 connections are required to complete the work.
First we have to correctly fix one connection from 8 wires.
This takes 8 tries.
Then we need to correctly fix the second connection from remaining 7 wires. This takes 7 tries.
Then next it takes 6 tries.
Then 5, 4, 3, 2 and finally 1.
Total number of tries = 8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1 = 36 tries.
Observe this is sum of 8 natural numbers.
Sum of n natural numbers = n(n+1)/2
If we assume there are n number of connections has to be made.
Total number of tries = n(n+1)/2
