Case 1: Both digits are numbers.

Number of possible ID codes = 10^2 = 100 ( 00,01,.... to 99)
Case 2: First digit is number and second is a letter.
Number of possible ID codes = 10*26 = 260 [ ex- 9A, 8D,. ]
Case 3: First digit is letter and second is a number.
Number of possible ID codes = 26*10 = 260 [ ex- A6, D7,. ]

Total number of possible ID codes = 100+ 260 +260 = 620
