Question

Find the values of the letters:
$8A$
x $A$
_____
$BB6$

• A. $A=4,B=3$
• B. $A=3,B=4$
• C. $A=0,B=2$
• D. $A=4,B=0$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $A=4,B=3$

$8A$
$\times A$
_____
$BB6$
The multiplication of $A$ and $A$ is giving $6$ i.e., $A\times A=6$
The above condition is possible only when digit $A$ is $4$, because $4\times 4=16$.
Ones digit will be $6$. $1$ will be carry for the next step to get the value as $33$.
Therefore, the multiplication is as follows:
$84$
X $4$
____
$336$
