1. The number of ways in which the 8 teams finish found by permutation is 1st, 2nd, 3rd is 336.

   What is a permutation?

   A permutation would be a mathematical computation of the number of possible arrangements of a given set, in which the sequence of the arrangements is important.

   Now, according to the question,

   We have ten teams and want to understand number of times PERMUTATIONS OF 3 are possible.  For only a PERMUTATION, we want to consider how several positions we are selecting and how many options are available for each of those positions.

   So, given three options are;

   (# of choices for first) x (# of choices for second) x (# of choices for third)

   If there are originally 8 teams to pick from, then first place has 8 alternatives. When one of those is chosen for first, there are only 7 alternatives for second, and only 6 choices for third… and so on.

   8 × 7 × 6 = 336

   Therefor, here are 366 possible methods to choose first, second, and third place from the original eight teams.
