Problem

The entries in a $3 \times 3$ array include all the digits from 1 through 9, arranged so that the entries in every row and column are in increasing order. How many such arrays are there?

$\textbf{(A)}\ 18\qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 24 \qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 36\qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 42\qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 60$

Notes

There is a general formula (coming from the fields of combinatorics and representation theory) to answer problems of this form; it is known as the hook-length formula. This formula gives the answer of $42$.
