Dear manisha

total number of words of 5 letter from 10 different letter such that any letter can be repeated any number of time = 105

total number of words of 5 letter from 10 different letter such that no letter can be repeated  = 10 *9*8*7*6


now for atleast one letter is repeated = 105 - 10 *9*8*7*6

                                                     =69760

5 letters from 1o letters = 5! i.e 120+ 3000 x2 and then multiply it by 10 as there are 10 letters and add 9640
120+60000+9640= 69760.
hope it amazed you.

Now for atleast one letter is repeated = 105  –  10 *9*8*7*6
