    The total time will be 208.8271 seconds.

    Explanation:

    For 8 characters:

    26*26*26*26*26*26*26*26=

    208,827,064,576

    Here we are taking 26 because there are 26 albhabets in lower case letters.

    Now

    208,827,064,576 / 1000,000,000

    =208.8271 seconds

    So to run 208,827,064,576 time will take 208.8271 seconds
