Imagine the combination as a number with 3 spaces, and you need to fill the spaces with the appropriate digits. _ _ _ For the 1st place you can chose any number from 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0 so there are a total of 10 choices. Similarly for the 3rd place. For the 2nd place, you can chose any number from 0, 1, 2 so you have three choices for it. So the total number of combinations possible for the lock are: \[10\times3\times10 = 300\]
you forgot the 3rd number didnt yo >?
* you?
I mentioned Similarly for the 3rd place, you have the same choices as the 1st place.
