In a railway journey, there are 4 trains from city A to city B and 5 trains from city B to city C. If the whole journey from A to C must pass through B, how many possible choices of trains are there?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 20 ways

This is a direct application of the fundamental principle of counting. The journey has two successive stages: first, a train must be selected from A to B, and then a train must be selected from B to C. There are 4 choices for the first stage. For each of those choices, all 5 trains on the second route remain available, so each first-stage choice can be paired with 5 second-stage choices. Thus the total is 4 × 5 = 20 possible train combinations. Option B adds the choices instead of multiplying them, while C and D do not represent the required product. Therefore option A is correct.
