Solution
Since, each signal requires the use of
2
flags.
There will be as many signals as there are ways of filling in
2
vacant place in succession by the given
5
flags of different colours.
The upper vacant place can be filled in
5
different ways by any one of the
5
flags .
The lower vacant place can be filled in
4
different ways by any one of the remaining
4
different flags.
Thus, by multiplication principle, the number of different signals that can be generated is
5
×
4
=
20
