Why?
Thank you.
假设有6家公司分别为A、B、C、D、E、F。
A公司的一名员工要分别与另外5家公司的人握手,并且另外5家公司每家公司有3名代表,所以就要握
5x3=15次,由于A公司也有3名代表,所以A公司的三名员工一共要握5x3x3=45次。
因为A公司已经与另外5家公司的人都握过手了,所以计算B公司的握手次数时,要排除A公司,就剩4家公司,那么B公司3名员工的握手次数为4x3x3=36次。
以次类推,C为3x3x3=27 D为2x3x3=18 E为1x3x3=9 F为0x3x3=0
相加得,45+36+27+18+9+0=135 正好是答案B
要简化计算也可以3x3x(5+4+3+2+1)=135
