It wrong I lost many points since I solved it and got :
S = 2 × 2 9 7 4 1 9 4 8 2

@Ronak Agarwal – Thanks. I have rephrased this problem for clarity. Those who previously answered 2897 have been marked correct. Unfortunately, because your attempt was from too far back, I am unable to update it.
In future, if you spot any errors with a problem, you can “report” it by selecting "report problem" in the “dot dot dot” menu in the lower right corner. This will notify the problem creator who can fix the issues.

@Calvin Lin – But I lost 30 points because of that my ratings gone from 2770 to 2740
Thanks. I have updated the question to remove ambiguity. Those who answered 1461 have been marked correct.
Nice Solution, Though you didn't explain why the remaining terms also add up to the same.
Edited for clarity.
why not one of the 2 in 2^973 be cancelled out with 2 in 974 the answer would be 1461 also

Taking first and last terms,
1 + 2 1 9 4 7 1 + 2 1 9 4 7 + 2 1 9 4 7 1
= 1 + 2 1 9 4 7 1 + 1 + 2 1 9 4 7 1 ( 2 1 9 4 7 1 )
= ( 1 + 2 1 9 4 7 1 ) ( 1 + 2 1 9 4 7 1 )
= ( 2 1 9 4 7 2 1 9 4 7 + 1 ) ( 1 + 2 1 9 4 7 1 )
= 2 1 9 4 7 1
Similarly pairing remaining terms (Note that there is no term without a pair), we get,
∑ n = 0 1 9 4 7 2 n + 2 1 9 4 7 1
= 2 1 9 4 7 9 7 4
= 2 9 7 3 4 8 7 2
Hence, A + B = 1 4 6 0 .
