Let me ask you couple of questions.  If and when you will answer them FOR YOURSELF, 
then you will be able to solve the problem in whole on your own.


So, now we concentrate on part (a).


    According to the problem, Victoria gets bronze.


    Then, how many options are for remaining females to get gold ?


    After that, how many options are for remaining females to get silver ?


If you are able to answer these two questions, you will be able to answer part (a).


At this point, I am waiting for your answer.
