2. If KANSAS + OHIO = OREGON Then find the value of G + R + O + S + S

3. 9
4. 10

Ans: KANSAS + OHIO = OREGON given the value of O = 5

KANSAS = 497292
OHIO = 5865
OREGON = 503157
G + R + O + S + S = 1 + 0 + 5 + 2 + 2 = 10

 MODEL QUESTIONS
4. 15

Ans. C
E+E=8
then,E = 4 S = 8,
E+S=M
4 + 8 = 12
M=2
H + 1 = 10 so, O = 0 C = 1,
now R + H = E = 4
H=9
so R has to be 5 as 5 + 9 = 14 which leaves carry 1..
so M = 3
soR + H + O = 5 + 9 + 0 = 14

4. If POINT + ZERO = ENERGY, then E + N + E + R + G + Y = ?

2. 18
3. 19

Ans. A
POINT = 98504,
ZERO = 3168
ENERGY = 101672.
So E + N + E + R + G + Y = 1 + 0 + 1 + 6 + 7 +2 = 17

5. If GO + TO = OUT, then O + U + T = ?

 MODEL QUESTIONS

Ans. C
Clearly, O = 1., as it is the carry generated by G + T. a number cannot start from 0 in
cryptarithmetic 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

6. If USA + USSR = PEACE. Find P + E + A + C + E.

1. 8
2. 9
3. 10
4. 11

Ans. C
USA +USSR =PEACE
Here P is carry , P = 1
when P = 1, E = 0 with carry 1 AND U = 9
A + R = E = 0 with carry 1.
so, A = 2 and R = 8
U + S = A = 2 with carry 1, S = 3
S + S + 1 = C, 3 + 3 + 1 = c = 7
932 + 9338 = 10270
so,P + E + A + C + E = 1 + 0 + 2 + 7 + 0 = 10

8. EAT + EAT + EAT = BEET if t = 0 then what will the value of TEE + TEE?

1. 088
2. 084
3. 044
4. 048

Ans. A
T=0
A=8
E=4
EAT = 480
EAT = 480
EAT = 480
-------------
1440
8 + 8 + 8 = 24
2 carry over
4 + 4 + 4 = 12 + 2 = 14
So, BEET = 1440
the TEE + TEE
044 + 044 = 088 = TAA

9. If E A T + T H A T = A P P L E, what is the value of A + T + L ?

1. 12
2. 13
3. 14
 MODEL QUESTIONS
4. 15

Ans. B
3 digit number (EAT) + 4 digit number(THAT) = 5 digit number(APPLE)
If so, then A can be 1 and p can be 0.
Again here T is yielding a two digit number(10).
So there must be a carry 1 and T = 9.
Now the expression becomes
E19
9H19
-------------------
100LE
Now it is clear that E = 8 and L = 3
So,A + T + L = 1 + 9 + 3 =13

Step 1

 Clearly, P = 1, U = 9, E = 0
 Let’s replace the values here

U S A
+ U S S R
-----------
P E A C E
Step 2

 A+R=0
 MODEL QUESTIONS
 This is possible if, A = 5, R = 5, but, both
can’t take same values
 So its possible with (8,2), (7,3), (6,4), (4,6),
(3,7), (2,8)
 Let’s do hit and trial and take (2,8) and
replace the new values.

0 S A
+ 9 S S R
-----------
1 0 A C 0
Step 3

 Now, assuming S value to be 3

 We have S + S + 1 (carry) = C
 3 + 3 + 1 => C = 7 (unoccupied)
 All the values are found out we just need
to verify

1
0 S 2
+ 9 S S 8
-----------
1 0 2 C 0
Step 3

 Values, are replaced and all the

operations work just fine

Value of P + E + A + C + E = 1 + 0 + 2 + 7 + 0 = 10

2. 36
3. 33
4. 38
 MODEL QUESTIONS
Step 1

 Here obviously J = 1 as max carry allowed

it
 (nothing) + M = O, i.e. 0 + M = O this
should have had been M only
 It means that there is 1 carry coming from
previous step
 Also this M + 1 (carry) = O, is generating 1
carry to next step
 This means M + 1 > 10, this is only
possible when M = 9
 => O = M + 1 = 9 + 0 = 0 (1 carry)

M A C
+ M A A R
-----------
J O C K O
Step 2

C+R=0

Since, this is at units place there can be no carry from previous step

Possible values of (C, R) can be (2, 8), (3,7), (4, 6), (6,4), (7,3), (2,8)

Lets assume, first case C = 2 and R = 8 in that case C + R, will generate 1

carry to next step A + A = K. The new problem looks like this –

1 1
9 A C
+ 9 A A R
-----------
1 0 C K 0
Step 3

 Thus, A + A + 1 (Carry) = K
 Also, 9 + A = 2, this is possible in two
ways
 If, A = 3 (no carry from previous step) 9 +
3 = 2 (1 carry to next step)
 MODEL QUESTIONS
 If, A = 2 (1 carry from previous step) but C
value is already assumed to be 2, so this
is not possible thus, A has to be 3
 Thus K = 3 + 3 + 1 = 7

All values are fetched and there is no conflict.

1 1 1
9 A 2
+ 9 A A 8
-----------
1 0 2 K 0
Step 4

 Thus, 3 A + 2 M + 2 C = 3(3) + 2(9) + 2(2)

= 9 + 18 + 4 = 31

1 1 1
9 3 2
+ 9 3 3 8

1 0 2 7 0

20. Question – If TOM + NAG = GOAT Value of G + O + A + T is ?

1. 15
2. 12
3. 14
4. Can not be determined

Step 1

Clearly, G = 1 (Max carry is 1)

 O+A=O
 This is only possible in two ways
o If O is zero
o Or O is 9 and there is 1 carry from M + G = T step
 However, T + N = O it generates 1 carry to result G
 Thus, clearly T + N results 10 and O is zero and 1 carry to result G
 MODEL QUESTIONS
T O M
+ N A G
-----------
G O A T
Step 2

 T + N should be 10
 T and N can be (8,2), (7,3), (6,4), (3,7), (2,8)
 Lets take (8,2)
 In this case A can take any values 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
 There are too many possibilities
 In this case unfortunately, the answer can not be determined.
