Solved each of the following Cryptarithms:\(\frac{\begin{matrix}A & B & 7\\+7 & A & B\end{matrix}}{9\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,8\,\,\,\,\,\,A}\)

Answer»

For unit’s place, 

We have two conditions, when 7 + B ≤ 9 and 7 + B > 9 

For 7 + B ≤ 9 

7 + B = A 

∴ A – B = 7 …(1) 

In ten’ place, 

B + A = 8 …(2) 

Solving 1 and 2 simultaneously, 

2A = 15 which means A = 7.5 which is not possible 

Hence, our condition 7 + B ≤ 9 is wrong. 

∴ 7 + B > 9 is correct condition 

Hence, carrying one in ten’s place and subtracting 10 from unit’s place, 

7 + B – 10 = A 

∴ B – A = 3 … (3) 

For ten’s place, 

B + A + 1 = 8 

∴ B + A =7 …(4) 

Solving 3 and 4 simultaneously, 

2B = 10 

∴ B = 5 and A = 2
