Expert Answer:
The number of ways of arranging:
1 flag at a time = 5P1 = 5
2 flag at a time = 5P2 = 5 x 4 = 20
3 flag at a time = 5P3 = 5 x 4 x 3 = 60
4 flag at a time = 5P4 = 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 = 120
5 flag at a time = 5P5 = 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 120
The required number of arrangements =
5+20+60+120+120 = 325
It can be solved using permutations only.
