Total no of station will be 11 (9 + patna +howrah)
first person has 10 choice to buy a ticket
2nd person has 09 choice to buy a ticket
3rd person has 08 choice to buy a ticket
4th person has 07 choice to buy a ticket
5th person has 06 choice to buy a ticket
6th person has 05 choice to buy a ticket
7th person has 04 choice to buy a ticket

10*9*8*7*6*5*4 =604800
