There are six possible paths from Dhaka to Khulna. Also, there are four paths from Dhaka to Rajshahi and five (direct) paths from Rajshahi to Khulna. In how many possible ways can you go from Dhaka to Khulna directly or via Rajshahi?

I can go Khulna from Dhaka directly in $6$ ways.And I can go to Khulna from Dhaka via Rajshahi in $4\times5=20$ ways.So,total $26$ ways.
