First, we know that b b is either 5 5 or 0 0 (since is divisible by 5 5 ). b b cannot be 0 0 because it would not satisfy the second down statement( b d bd must be divisible by 13 13 , so b must be more than 0 0 ), so b is equal to 5 5 . If b = 5 b=5 , then d = 2 d=2 ( 52 52 is divisible by 13 13 ). Then, c c must be 4 4 ( 42 42 is divisible by 7 7 ). This time, a a can be equal to 2 2 or 8 8 . The problem states that there is no same digits in the four variables, so a = 8 a=8 . Thus, a + b + c + d = 5 + 2 + 4 + 8 = 19 a+b+c+d=5+2+4+8=19 .
