Good systematic way of solving the system of linear equations.
You could have reduced some steps by directly saying that 'a' must be equal to 1 from the 4th equation , and from 'a 'belongs to natural no.s
Totally same way
In matrix, the equation system is as follows:
⎝ ⎜ ⎜ ⎛ 1 3 2 3 3 3 4 3 1 2 2 2 3 2 4 2 1 2 3 4 1 1 1 1 ⎠ ⎟ ⎟ ⎞ ⎝ ⎜ ⎜ ⎛ a b c d ⎠ ⎟ ⎟ ⎞ ⇒ ⎝ ⎜ ⎜ ⎛ 1 8 2 7 6 4 1 4 9 1 6 1 2 3 4 1 1 1 1 ⎠ ⎟ ⎟ ⎞ ⎝ ⎜ ⎜ ⎛ a b c d ⎠ ⎟ ⎟ ⎞ ⇒ ⎝ ⎜ ⎜ ⎛ a b c d ⎠ ⎟ ⎟ ⎞ ⇒ a b c d + a + b + c + d = ⎝ ⎜ ⎜ ⎛ 1 0 2 7 6 0 1 1 5 ⎠ ⎟ ⎟ ⎞ = ⎝ ⎜ ⎜ ⎛ 1 0 2 7 6 0 1 1 5 ⎠ ⎟ ⎟ ⎞ = ⎝ ⎜ ⎜ ⎛ 1 8 2 7 6 4 1 4 9 1 6 1 2 3 4 1 1 1 1 ⎠ ⎟ ⎟ ⎞ − 1 ⎝ ⎜ ⎜ ⎛ 1 0 2 7 6 0 1 1 5 ⎠ ⎟ ⎟ ⎞ = 6 1 ⎝ ⎜ ⎜ ⎛ − 1 9 − 2 6 2 4 3 − 2 4 5 7 − 3 6 − 3 2 1 − 4 2 2 4 1 − 6 1 1 − 6 ⎠ ⎟ ⎟ ⎞ ⎝ ⎜ ⎜ ⎛ 1 0 2 7 6 0 1 1 5 ⎠ ⎟ ⎟ ⎞ = ⎝ ⎜ ⎜ ⎛ 1 2 4 3 ⎠ ⎟ ⎟ ⎞ = 2 4 + 1 0 = 3 4
I used the following Excel spreadsheet to do the calculations.
There seems to be a typo.
The correct solution has c=4 and d=3
That does not affect the answer, though.

Thanks, you are right. I have edited the solution.
We will use Lagrange interpolation discussed here
Let f ( x ) = p ( x − 1 ) ( x − 2 ) ( x − 3 ) + q ( x − 1 ) ( x − 2 ) ( x − 4 ) + r ( x − 1 ) ( x − 3 ) ( x − 4 ) + s ( x − 2 ) ( x − 3 ) ( x − 4 )
Put f ( 1 ) = 1 0 We get s = 3 − 5
Similarly putting f ( 2 ) = 2 7 , f ( 3 ) = 6 0 , f ( 4 ) = 1 1 5 yields respectively the values
r = 2 2 7 , q = − 3 0 , p = 6 1 1 5
Put in f ( x ) to get
f ( x ) = 6 1 1 5 ( x 3 − 6 x 2 + 1 1 x − 6 ) − 3 0 ( x 3 − 7 x 2 + 1 4 x − 8 ) + 2 2 7 ( x 3 − 8 x 2 + 1 9 x − 1 2 ) − 3 5 ( x 3 − 9 x 2 + 2 6 x − 2 4 )
f ( x ) = x 3 + 2 x 2 + 4 x + 3
Clearly a = 1 , b = 2 , c = 4 , d = 3
a . b . c . d = 2 4 and a + b + c + d = 1 0
A n s w e r = 2 4 + 1 0 = 3 4

f ( 1 ) ⇒ f ( 2 ) ⇒ f ( 3 ) ⇒ f ( 4 ) ⇒ a ( 1 ) 3 + b ( 1 ) 2 + c ( 1 ) + d ⇒ a ( 2 ) 3 + b ( 2 ) 2 + c ( 2 ) + d ⇒ a ( 3 ) 3 + b ( 3 ) 2 + c ( 3 ) + d ⇒ a ( 4 ) 3 + b ( 4 ) 2 + c ( 4 ) + d ⇒ a + b + c + d 8 a + 4 b + 2 c + d 2 7 a + 9 b + 3 c + d 6 4 a + 1 6 b + 4 c + d = 1 0 = 2 7 = 6 0 = 1 1 5 ⇒ ( 1 ) ⇒ ( 2 ) ⇒ ( 3 ) ⇒ ( 4 )
( 2 ) − ( 1 ) ; ( 3 ) − ( 2 ) ; ( 4 ) − ( 3 ) ; 7 a + 3 b + c 1 9 a + 5 b + c 3 7 a + 7 b + c = 1 7 = 3 3 = 5 5 ⇒ ( 5 ) ⇒ ( 6 ) ⇒ ( 7 )
( 6 ) − ( 5 ) ; ( 7 ) − ( 6 ) ; 1 2 a + 2 b 1 8 a + 2 b = 1 6 = 2 2 ⇒ ( 8 ) ⇒ ( 9 )
( 9 ) − ( 8 ) ; 6 a = 6 ⇒ a = 1
Instead a with 1 in equation ( 8 ) ;
1 2 ( 1 ) + 2 b 2 b = 1 6 = 4 ⇒ b = 2
Instead a with 1 and b with 2 in equation ( 5 ) ;
7 ( 1 ) + 3 ( 2 ) + c 1 3 + c = 1 7 = 1 7 ⇒ c = 4
Instead a with 1 , b with 2 and c with 4 in equation ( 1 ) ;
1 + 2 + 4 + d 7 + d = 1 0 = 1 0 ⇒ d = 3
Thus, ( a ⋅ b ⋅ c ⋅ d ) + ( a + b + c + d ) = ( 1 ⋅ 2 ⋅ 4 ⋅ 3 ) + 1 0 = 2 4 + 1 0 = 3 4
