signals using one flag = 4

signals using two flags = (4C2)(2!) .... 4C2-for choosing 2 flags and 2! for their arrangment

signals using three flags = (4C3)(3!)

signals using four flags = (4C4)(4!) 

adding all up gives 64

In giving a signal, the order of the placement of colours is important,i.e a red and blue signal is different than the blue and red signal. Hence the order is very important.

Therefore the required no. of ways=4P1 +4P2 +4P3 +4P4 =4+12+24+24=64
