let a four digit No. = abcd
given -
a+b = c + d --------------------(1)
b+c = 2*(a+d)------------------(2)
a+b+c+d > 20-------------------(3)
Now using equation 1 and 3
2*(a+b) > 20 i.e. a+b+c+d is multiple of 2
Now using equation 2 and 3
3*(a+d) >20 i.e a+b+c+d is multiple of 3
....Conclusion------>>>>> a+b+c+d is multiple of 6

As we know any single digit no. can have maximum value equal to 9
so max of (b+c) = 18 i.e. b+c

a+b+c+d >20 by using given data we have 3*(a+d)>20 and 2*(a+b)>20 so a+b+c+d is multiple of 6
and max of b+c 20 (Now we know upper limit)
20< 3*(a+d) < = 27 and they are multiple of 6 so only 24 is multiple of 6 in between 20 and 27
So a+b+c+d = 24 , a+b=c+d = 12 , a+d = 8 ,b+c = 16
and if we check each possible no. then only - 5793,4884,3975 satisfies it hence at unit place 3,4,5 is present

Let the number be abcd
We have a+b = c+d and b+c = 2(a+d) and a+b+c+d
a+b+c+d = 2(a+b).......1
a+b+c+d = 3(a+d).....2
From 1 and 2 we can say that digit sum is a multiple of 6
so the digit sum can be 24,30,36
36 is not possible as it implies all digits 9 which contradicts b+c = 2(a+d)
if digit sum is 30 then,
a+b=c+d=15
and a+d = 10 and b+c = 20 No solution as one digit can be 9 maximum.
Hence 24 is the digit sum
Now,
a+b = c+d = 12
b+c = 16 , a + d = 8
from a+d = 8 ;
(a,d) can be (4,4) ,(5,3),(3,5)
which implies
(b,c) = (8,8),(7,9),(9,7)

(6,2) pair of (a,d) is rejected as it will make b= 10 which is not possible
Therefore there are 3 values for unit digit = 3,4,5
