the question was: choose permutation or combination
Based on your answers, I'd say you chose P,C,C,P, which is correct.
However for #1, you have 10 finalists, and you want the number of ways to pick 3 of them. That is just P(10,3), which is in fact 10*9*8 (10!/7!).
There are 10 ways to wick a winner, leaving just 9 choices for runner-up, and 8 choices for 3rd place.
Other than that, your answers look good.
