उत्तर

First flag
Second flag
Third flag

Number of flags = 4

Number of flags required for a signal = 3

The total number of signals is equal to the number of ways of filling 3 places in succession by 4 flags of different colours.

Number of ways of filling the top place using 4 different colour flags is 4 ways.

Number of ways of filling the middle place using the remaining 3 different colour flags is 3 ways.

Number of ways of filling the bottom place using the remaining 2 different colour flags is 2 ways.

Therefore, by fundamental principle of multiplication,

The total number of signals = 4 × 3 × 2 = 24 ways
