In the above question, most of the people have solved it using dp but i am trying it using pnc.
My approach is that first i am calculating all possible ways of arranging n1 soldiers and n2 horses which is (n1+n2)C(n1) ways.
Then i am grouping (k1+1) soldiers and calculating all possible ways of arranging them. This value is equal to (n1-k1+n2)!/(n1-k1-1)!(n2)!. This value should be substracted from the total ways.
Then i am grouping (k2+1) soldiers and calculating all possible ways of arranging them. This value is equal to (n2-k2+n1)!/(n2-k2-1)!(n1)!. This value should be substracted from the total ways.
Then i am calculating the intersection of the above two cases as it has been substracted two times from the total cases. This value is equal to (n1-k1+n2-k2)!/(n1-k1-1)!(n2-k2-1)!. This value is added in total possible ways to eliminate double counting from the above two cases.
I have also taken care of the fact that we will group soldiers or horses only when it would be possible to group them i.e., (n1>k1) , (n2>k2) for respective cases.
I am getting WA. I cant figure out which case i am missing and need help.
Here is my code

Thanks in advance for the time and help.
