For the second sum, u may see http://www.artofproblemsolving.com/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=513&t=348532.
Phenomenal soln!
no arka.. that is not the right way bcos it will mean you are not differentiating betwen the 7 people
Each person has 3 options to get down..
So 37 ways..= 2187
We have to remove those cases when no one gets out at a particular floor.. (Inclusion Exclusion or Venn Diagram approach)
