Answer : 1. "215"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 215 Explanation: Since each ring consists of six different letters, the total number of attempts possible with the three rings is = 6 x 6 x 6 = 216. Of these attempts, one of them is a successful attempt. Maximum number of unsuccessful attempts = 216 - 1 = 215.
