Problem is attached. please view attachment before answering. 

Really struggling with this concept. Thank you so much.

Suppose a password protection protocol requires the use of three unique positive
integers followed by a string of six lowercase characters. The characters may be reused
but the integers may not.
a) How many such passwords are possible?
b) If you are trying to guess a password with this scheme and you know that the
password has '123' as its unique integers, what is the probability you guess the
password on the first try?
c) If you know that the password contains 123 as its unique integers and contains the
letter 'a' somewhere, what is the probability you guess the password on the first
try?
