Find all the possible ways to reach the end of a matrix. So given

[a b
   c d]

the possible ways [a c],[a d],[b c],[b d] as inputs *p* the number of rows and *n* the number of column. You will produce a matrix by using these two input inputs. The matrix starts with 1 and increases left to right. The last number in the matrix will be n*p. After that you find the possible ways to reach end of the matrix

Example 1

p = 2; the number of rows 
  n = 2; the number of columns

will produce this output matrix

[1 2 
   3 4]

Possible ways are [1 3],[1 4],[2 3],[2 4]
  
 output =

1     3
     1     4
     2     3
     2     4

Example 2

p = 4;
 n = 2;

These produce the matrix

[1 2
  3 4
  5 6
  7 8]

Possible ways are [1 3 5 7], [1 3 5 8],...,[2 4 6 8]

output =
     1     3     5     7
     1     3     5     8
