Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(8^3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Since, it is given that a lock has 3 rings and each ring has 8 digits, so each ring can be rotated in 8 ways, therefore total number of different ways in which 3 rings can be rotated is \(8 \times 8 \times 8=8^3\). Hence, option (b) is correct.
