(A) is correct choice. Number of 5 letters words (with the condition that a letter can be repeated) = 105. Again number of words using 5 different letters is 10P5. Therefore, required number of letters

= Total number of words – Total number of words in which no letter is repeated

= 10510P5 = 69760.
