Answer 8

first flag in 5 ways second in 4 and third in 3 ways.

Answer 9

as he can choose one out of five flag for first one. now one is used he is left with 4 he can use any of 4 so 4 ways and for the last flag he has 3 left he can use any of three so 3 ways. So 5*4*3 = 60

At first I though he had only 3 flags for second question so i wrote 3! but he had 5 flags in the statement before the question. So Don't mind it please. @pphalke
