General Relativity: How many Christoffel symbols?

[AHSAN MUJTABA]

Homework Statement

how many christoffel symbols (independent) can exist for a diagonal metric? what about the general metric?

Relevant Equations

general metric(4d) and diagonal 4*4 metric

Actually I know there would be some permutations used here. I know how to calculate the symbols but estimating is quite a new thing to me
