1 Switch is equivalent to 1 bit Cz Switch store either on or off value like a bit can be 0 or 1.

So total 12 bits are there(cz there 12 switches)

Make 3 group of 12 bit . Means each group contain 4 bit.

(_ _ _ _) (_ _ _ _) (_ _ _ _)

G1. G2. G3

Here in any group max 10 numbers can be stored Cz BCD numbers we have to store.

So 10*10*10 different BCD numbers can be stored in this 12 Switches. So Ans is option D) 10^3.
