Abstract
This paper is a continuation of two papers [4], [5] and brings out the solution of the ballot problem in its general form.In [5], Narayana has considered a generalised occupancy problem which can be viewed as a problem in compositions of integers. In what follows, we use the definitions of [6].Keywords
