CRYPTARITHMETIC 1st Year Advanced - Session-2

The document provides rules and examples for solving cryptarithmetic problems. Cryptarithmetic involves representing letters as digits and solving arithmetic equations. The key rules are that each letter represents one unique digit, numbers cannot start with zero, and there is only one solution. A series of 20 cryptarithmetic problems are then presented along with their solutions as examples.

If GO + TO = OUT, then find the value of O + U + T ?

A. 1
B. 2
C. 3
D. 4

Answer: C
Clearly, O = 1., as it is the carry generated by G + T. a number cannot start from
0 in crypt arithmetic addition.
Since O = 1, O + O = 1 + 1 =2. So, T = 2.
G + 2 = 10 + U.
If G = 9, U = 1. Which is not valid since O = 1.
So, G = 8 and U = 0.
Hence, O + U + T = 1 + 0 + 2 = 3
If AA + BB + CC = ABC, then what is the value of A+B+C?

A. 15
B. 18
C. 21
D. 12

Answer: B
The digits are distinct and positive. Let’s first focus on the value A, when we add three 2
digit numbers the most you get is in the 200’s (ex: AA + BB + CC = ABC à 99 + 88 + 77 =
264). From this, we can tell that the largest value of A can be 2. So Either A = 1 or A = 2.
Now focus on value B, let’s take the unit digit of the given question: A + B +C = C
(units). This can happen only if A + B = 0 (in the units) à A and B add up to 10.
Two possibilities: 11 + 99 + CC = 19C à (1) or 22 + 88 + CC = 28C à (2)
Take equation (2), 110 + CC = 28C
Focus on ten’s place, 1 + C = 8, here C = 7. Then 22 + 88 + 77 = 187
Thus, Equation (2) is not possible.
From Equation (1), 11+99+CC = 19C à 110 + CC =19C à 1 + C = 9, then C = 8.
11 + 99 + 88 = 198 à hence solved A = 1, B = 9 and C = 8
A + B + C = 18
YES + YES + YES + YES= EVER, then what is the value of E +R?

A. 1

D. 9

Answer: D
YES + YES + YES + YES = EVER
