3m 2 + 3m + 1
Sol. No. of garlands will be equal to no. of solutions of the equation
a 1 + a 2 + a 3 = 6m
with 
Case I a 1 = a 2 = a 3 , so we have only one solution
Case II only two are equal, we have
= 3m solutions
Case III If all are different, we have
= 3m 2
Solution, so total no. of garlands will be 3m 2 + 3m + 1
