Question 1.
Find the values of the letters in each of the following and give reasons for the steps involved.
Solution:
1. We have
Study the addition in the ones column: from A + 5, we get ‘2’ that is, a number whose ones digit is 2.
Thus, A should be 7. So the puzzle can be solved as shown below :
That is, B = 6.
2. We have
Here, A + 8 = 3 (a number whose ones digit is 3)
∴ ‘A’ should be 5.
Now,
Thus, A = 5, B = 4 and C = 1.
3. We have
Since the ones digit of, A × A = A, so, it must be 6, because since produce of a number and A is 9.
i.e. 1 × A = 9 ⇒ A = 9
but A = 9 does not satisfies.
So, A = 6
Now,
4. We have
Addition in ones column :
Here, B + 7 is A’ that is a number whose ones digit is ‘A’.
Let us put the values of ‘B’ starting from 0.
If B = 0, then A = 7 ∴ 7 + 6 ≠ 6
If B = 1, then A = 8 ∴ 8 + 3 ≠ 6
If B = 2, then A = 9 ∴ 9 + 3 ≠ 6
If B = 5, then A = 2 ∴ (2 + 3) + 1 = 6
So, B = 5 and A = 2 satisfies the given condition.
5. We have
Since the ones digit of B × 3 is B, it must be B = 0 or B = 5.
Now look at A.
So, B = 0 and A = 5 and C = 1.
6. We have
Since the ones digit of B × 5 is B
∴ B must be 0 or 5
Now, look at A.
Use hits and trial method :
∴ A = 7, B = 5 and C = 3.
7. We have
Since the ones digit of B × 6 is 6.
∴ Possible values of B are 0, 4, 6 and 8.
Now, look at A.
So, the value of BBB may be 444,666 or 888. [000 is not possible]
∴ 666 ÷ 6 = 111
which is a 3-digits number.
888 ÷ 6 = 148
which is a 3-digits number.
444 ÷ 6 = 74
which is a 2-digits number.
Thus, B = 4 and A = 7.
8. We have
If you study the addition in the ones column i.e. (1 + B), you get ‘0’.
∴ B should be 9.
Thus, A must be 7.
Thus, B = 9 and A = 7.
9. We have
If you study the addition in the ones column i.e. (B + 1) then you get ‘8’.
∴ ‘B’ should be 7 and A should be 4.
So, the given condition is satisfied.
Hence, B = 7 and A = 4.
10. We have
Since addition of ones column gives the value 9.
∴ A + B should be (1, 8) or (8, 1).
Now, let us apply hits and trial method.
If A = 1 and B = 8, then
If A = 8 and B = 1, then
Thus, A = 8 and B = 1 satisfies the given condition.
