Looking at b), I will assume that in a) letters and digits may be repeated.
a) number of codes = 27*27*10*10*10 =
b) Distinct letters, but repeated digits : 27*26*10*10*10 =
distinct letter and distinct codes: 27*26*10*9*8 =
c) codes with same letters but distinct digits: 27*1*10*9*8 =
codes with the same letters and repeated digits : 27*1*10*10*10 =
codes with same letters and same digits: 27*1*10*1*1 = 27*10 =
suppose a code of five characters,two letters followed by three digits. find
(a) codes
(b) codes with distinct letter
(c) codes with the same letters

My mistake!!!!
There are 26 letters, not 27,
So make the necessary changes.

Looking at b), I will assume that in a) letters and digits may be repeated.
a) number of codes = 26*26*10*10*10 = 676000
b) Distinct letters, but repeated digits : 26*25*10*10*10 =650000
distinct letter and distinct codes: 26*25*10*9*8 = 468000
c) codes with same letters but distinct digits: 26*1*10*9*8 =18720
codes with the same letters and repeated digits : 26*1*10*10*10 = 26000
codes with same letters and same digits: 26*1*10*1*1 = 26*10 =260
