we have 100 books in each type. (i.e) Type A,Type B,Type C.

If each book is different from other books Then each type has $100$ different books. I am going to choose one book from each type (and by your given data order of the chosen books is not a matter). The total number of possibilities = $100*100*100=1000000$

If all the books in type A,B and C is identical

Then choosing any book in Type A yields the same book due to identical. I am going to choose one book from each type (and by your given data order of the chosen books is not a matter) The total number of possiblities=$1*1*1=1$.
