A
The combination of three digits, whose product can give a perfect cube are (1,2,4) (1,3,9) (4,6,9) (3,8,9) and (2,4,8) when all three digits are distinct.With each of these combinations we can have 3! three digit numbers with distinct digits. Therefore, the number of such 3-digit numbers is 5(3!) = 5*6 = 30. There is another case of (8,8,1) and the number of such 3 digit numbers is 3. answer = 30+3= 33.
