Question 10
Find the values of the letters in the following and give reasons for the steps involved.
1 2 A
+ 6 A B–––––––––––––
A 0 9––––––––––
From unit place of A+B =9
there will be no carry
So A+B=9
by looking at middle term unit place of 2+A is 0 so A=8
As A=8 B=1
Tens place digit is ‘0’ and carry over 1. Now 1 + 6 + 1 = 8 =A
Hence A = 8 and B =1
