If a two digit number is required, imagine the places below $$--$$

Now the first place has the options - $\{1,3,5,7,9\}$ as it cannot start with a 0 the second place has no restriction, since repetition is allowed

Hence, number of options for first place - 5

Number of options for second place - 6

Total numbers = 5*6 = 30
