उत्तर

Since there are 3 rings each containing 5 different letters.

∴ each ring can be adjusted in 5 different ways,

i.e., m = 5, n = 5, p = 5

∴ by the fundamental principle, 3 rings can be arranged in

= m × n × p

= 5 × 5 × 5

= 125 ways

Out of these 125 trials only one trial is successful to open the lock.

Hence, the maximum number of false trials

= 125 − 1

= 124
