Each student is given a five-character identification code. The first three characters are selected from the numbers 0 to 9 inclusive, and the last two characters are selected from the 26 letters of the alphabet. If characters may be repeated and the same characters used in a different order constitute a different code, how many different identification codes can be generated following these rules?  Answers:
A) 652,000	B) 665,000	C) 676,000	D) 683,000	E) 694,000
The number of possible codes is 10*10*10*26*26=26,000.   The answer is 676,000.
