  1. Sir can you please explain the last step , shouldn’t it be 32c2
    how did you eliminate the cases with zeroes ?

  2. Parth ,if you have done P&C class, probably you might understand what I say.So as to avoid solution with zeroes give ,1 each to k,n and z.Thus k+n+z becomes 27.applyiny the partition rule,27 has to be distributed among 3 people,so 2 partitions-hence,29C2
