Uphill leads 2 paths and one lift.

a) How many options back and forth are there?
b) How many options to get there and back by the not same path are there?
c) How many options back and forth are there that we go at least once a lift?

Final Answer:

a =  9
b =  6
c =  5

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} n=2 \\ a=(n+1)\cdot (n+1)=(2+1)\cdot (2+1)=9 \end{gathered}$$

$b=(n+1)\cdot n=(2+1)\cdot 2=6$

$c=n\cdot 1+1\cdot n+1\cdot 1=2\cdot 1+1\cdot 2+1\cdot 1=5$
