Answer 2

The correct answer is:

125,000.

Explanation:

For the first turn, there are 50 numbers to choose from.

On each turn of a lock, the numbers can be repeated; this means on the second turn, there are 50 numbers to choose from, and on the third turn, there are 50 numbers to choose from. This gives us:

50³ = 50×50×50 = 125,000.
