Otherwise you cannot calculate the answer. No of triplets=n*(n-1)*(n-2) and n<=10^5. This means roughly 10^15 triplets which cannot be calculated individually. So you have to use combinations to generate the answer.
thank you for replying ... i can see why now :-)
Offtopic in first edit.
Also Happy New Year! =)
