Hi Girish,
You didn't mentioned table name and column name so I named it Table1 and named column name.

About your first question : "i want to select values between 10 and A10.5, how can i achieve it?"

You can use this query :

SQL

select * from Table1 where name between	'10' and 'A10.5'

And about your comment : "atleast how to select values starting with alphabets..."
You can use this one :

SQL

select * from Table1 where name between	'A' and 'Z'

Hope it helps.
