3^6  = 729 ways  let if there are two post^ man a and b  and they have to go to 4 places  then   (a+b)^4  = a^4 +4a^3 b+6a^2 b^2 +4ab^3 +b^4   i.e  a has gone in 4 places in 1 way  a has gone in 3 places andb in 1 in 4 ways  a has gone in 2 places and b in 2 in 6 ways  a has gone in 1 places and b in 3 in 4 ways  b has gone in 4 places in 1 way  i.e sum of the co efficient = 1+4+6+4+1=16  or by putting a=b=l    (1+1)^4 =2^4 =16 ways  now for this problem  on (a+b+c)^6   putting a=b=c=1 we get 3^6 ways
