Answer 2

Let's see all the steps: 
1)  operation  : 5 options
2) only one option: we ignore it
3) the third operation: 6 options
4): 2 options.


So we have 5 options, 6 options and 2 options: and they are independent of each other. This means that we multiply the numbers, and 5*6*2=60 So the answer is 60!
