    Explanation:

    Well in this case since there are 3 positions and they can be taken by 3 persons only ,so order matters over here.
    For gold there are 10 choices ,

    for silver 9 remain (one who got gold cannot be given silver)

    and for bronze 8 choices remain.
    So total possibilities=10*9*8 = 720

    Hence, option 2 is the correct answer.
