First, we know that b is either 5 or 0 (since is divisible by 5 ). b cannot be 0 because it would not satisfy the second down statement( b d must be divisible by 1 3 , so b must be more than 0 ), so b is equal to 5 . If b = 5 , then d = 2 ( 5 2 is divisible by 1 3 ). Then, c must be 4 ( 4 2 is divisible by 7 ). This time, a can be equal to 2 or 8 . The problem states that there is no same digits in the four variables, so a = 8 . Thus, a + b + c + d = 5 + 2 + 4 + 8 = 1 9 .
