The safe's security code is set with three dials. The first dial has five different letters, the second dial has the numbers 0 to 4, and the third dial has the numbers 5 to 9. One code can be set in approximately 1 second. How should the alarm be timed so that it sounds one-fifth of the time it takes to try all possible codes?

t =  42 s

Step-by-step explanation:
