Given total available characters is 10 and total digits are 5,
So, for6−digit password, the number of ways =106−56
For 7−digit password, the number of ways =107−57
For 8−digit password, the number of ways =108−58
∴ Total ways =(106+107+108)−(56+57+58)
=2656+2757+2858−56−57−58
=56(26+5⋅27+25⋅28−1−5−25)=7073⋅56
Now on comparing with α×56 we get α=7073
