The syntax of command statement in UNIX 10. If the permission for a file is 000then the file can be accessed by whom?

Your question doesn't make a lot of sense, but if the permission is 000 none of the access bits are set and nobody can access the file. However, the root user is "special" in many ways, and depending on the implementation it's possible that root can access it (root can certainly change the permissions to allow him- or herself to access it).

What is the main advantage of creating links to a file instead of copies of the file?

The main advantage is not really that it saves disk space (though it does that too) but, rather, that a change of permissions on the file is applied to all the link access points. The link will show permissions of lrwxrwxrwx but that is for the link itself and not the access to the file to which the link points. Thus if you want to change the permissions for a command, such as su, you only have to do it on the original. With copies you have to find all of the copies and change permission on each of the copies.
