Number of ways of marking each of the ring = 10 different letters
∴ Total number of ways of marking any letter on these three rings = 10\[\times\]10\[\times\]10 = 1000 Out of these 1000 combinations of the lock, 1 combination will be successful.
∴ Total number of unsuccessful attempts = 1000 \[-\]1 = 999
