Find the number of different signals that can be generated by arranging at least 2 flags in order (one below the other) on a vertical staff, if five different flags are available.

Explanation

To find the number of different signals that can be generated by arranging at least 2 flags in order on a vertical staff, given that we have 5 different flags, we can break down the problem into several cases based on the number of flags used.

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Case 1: Using 2 Flags**
- First, we need to choose 2 flags from the 5 available flags. The number of ways to choose 2 flags from 5 is given by the combination formula \( \binom{n}{r} \):
\[
\text{Number of ways to choose 2 flags} = \binom{5}{2} = \frac{5!}{2!(5-2)!} = \frac{5 \times 4}{2 \times 1} = 10
