Dear student
 
As there are n squares from North to south
And k squsres from East to west.
Hence there are n+1 and k+1 lines respectively.
 
 
Hence total required ways = (n+k+2)! /( n+1)! (k+1)!

Oh sorry
 
We count from 0.
Hence (n+k)!/ n! k!
Or we can also say n+kCk or n+kCn.
 
Hope now you understand
