In a \(5\times 4\) grid, one moves from bottom-left to top-right using only right and up moves. How many paths are possible?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 126

To reach the destination, 5 right moves and 4 up moves are needed, making 9 moves in all. A path is determined by choosing the positions of the 5 right moves among these 9 moves. Hence, the number of paths is \(\binom{9}{5}=126\). Option 120 equals \(5!\), but that counts arrangements of only 5 objects; here the two types of moves must be arranged among all 9 positions. Exam tip: In such grid-path questions, choose the positions of one type of move from the total moves.
