Question

In the equation a+b+c+d+e = fg, where fg is the two – digit number whose value is 10f+g, and letters a, b, c, d, e, f, and g each represent different digits. If fg is as large as possible, what is the value of g?

Answer 1

Thank you for asking this question. The options for this question are missing. Here are the missing options:

a)4

b)5

c)1

d)3

Answer

FG is as large as possible and all the 7 numbers should be different.

9 + 8 + 7 + 6 + 5 = 35 (5 is getting repeated twice)

9 + 8 + 7 + 6 + 4 = 34 (4 is getting repeated )

9 + 8 + 7 + 5 + 4 = 33 (3 repeats )

9 + 8 + 6 + 5 + 4 = 32

None of the numbers repeat in the above case and 32 is the maximum number FG can have.

The value of G is 2.
