Question

if p and q represent digits,what is the maximum possible value of q in the statement 5p9+327+2q8=1114​

Answer 1

7 is the greatest value possible.

5p9+

327+

2q8

=1114

As,

9+7+8= 24......2 carried

2+2(from 327) = 4

and as we need 11 as the final answer for third tier addition

so we have 7+4= 11 considering "p" = 0

we get q= 7.

Thank you
