Find the total bumber of routes one can travel from A to C, via B.
Notice that, We can take any 1 of 9 routes to travel from A to B .
This can be done in
( 9 C 1 ) = 9 ways.
Similarly, we can take any 1 of 5 routes to travel from B to C.
This can be done in
( 5 C 1 ) = 5 ways.
Hence, the total number of routes to travel from A to C via B are
= 9 * 5
= 45
Hence, there are total 45 routes to travel from A to C via B.
