Answer :

If all the letters have the same frequency then they have may or may not be  equal codes.

What is Huffman encoding?

A lossless data compression algorithm is Huffman coding. Input characters are given variable-length codes, the lengths of which are determined by the frequency of the matching characters.

The variable-length codes (bit sequences) assigned to input characters are Prefix Codes, which indicates that no other character will have a code that is the prefix of the code assigned to that character. This is how Huffman Coding ensures that the produced bitstream cannot contain any ambiguities during decoding.

Let's use a counter example to better grasp prefix codes. Assume that the four characters a, b, c, and d have the variable length codes 00, 01, 0 and 1, respectively. Because the code assigned to c is the prefix of the codes assigned to a and b, this coding causes uncertainty. If the bit stream being compressed is 0001, the decompressed output might be "cccd," "ccb," "acd," or "ab."

In huffman coding, if two nodes have the same frequency, they are considered to be identical for compression reasons, therefore you can select either one and gain an equal amount of compression.
