Latest Infosys Aptitude Question SOLUTION: USA+USSR=PEACE.what is P+E+A+C+E????

The letter U must represent 9; there's no other way for a four-digit number and a three-digit number to make a five-digit number.

The letters P and E must represent 1 and 0. Since USSR is 9000 and something, and USA is 900 and something, the sum must be at least 10000 (since it's five digits) but can be no larger than 10998.

Now let's look at it column-by-column:

In the ones column, we have R+A=E. We know E is zero, but you can't add two non-zero numbers to get zero... so really, R+A=10, and there's a carry into the tens column.

In the tens column, S+S+1 = C. (The +1 is the carry from the ones column). Now, if S is 5 or more, there'd be a carry into the hundreds column. If S is less than 5, then there isn't. (Remember this for the next paragraph.) Either way, we know C must be an odd number, because S+S is always even, and adding one makes it odd. Since P=1 and U=9, there are only three possibilities left for C: 3, 5, and 7.

In the hundreds column, S+U=A+10 if there's NO carry from the tens column, or S+U+1=A+10 if there IS a carry from the tens column. (There's a +10 because we know that there MUST be a carry into the thousands column, because the final result must be at least 10000). But we know U is 9. If S+9+1=A+10, then that means S and A are the same number, and that's not allowed. So if we work the logic back, we know there must be NO carry from the tens column. And that means, because of what we figured out in the last paragraph, that S must be less than 5.

So now, let's look at the possible values for C, 3, 5, and 7:

If C=3, then S=1 (and not 6, because S

usa+ussr=peace
932+9338=10270=10

can u say how u r anaolyzing that for u =9 i cant understand can u explain in proper way i cant understand

USA=932
USSR=9338
PEACE=10270
THEN P+E+A+C+E=1+0+2+7+0=10

can anyone pls xplain in detail how u=9

usa+ussr=peace
932+9338=10270
1+0+2+7+0=19

please explain properly

can u explain why we need to take 9 for u

hi..,rajat..i also attend 4 dt test..
In dt i dnt undrstnd how to solve dt "6 stmts and 3set of letters optins (like CBA,BCD,BAC)bit.."
if u knw hw 2 solve dt type of question could u plz tell me???

P+E+A+C+E=10 ans confirmed

U S A 9 2 3
U S S R 9 2 2 7
___________ _____________
P E A C E 1 0 1 5 0
ans: 1+1+5=7

cryptarithmetic....
p=1
E=0
A=3
C=8
E=0
TOTAL=12

hey guyzz i cant understand this type of question plz help me to solve tis problem my email id paridhi@galaxyindia.co.in

Can someone give me proper link of cryptarithmetic tutorial?
I don't know this concept.
I hv gone through few links but those were not helpful.

please explain in
detail

7+5+1+3+5=19
add all 2 digits as 1

U+S+A=9+3+2
U+S+S+R=9+3+3+8
P+E+A+C+E=1+0+2+7+0

Hi i am not able to answer the question so how can i understand.Can anyone understand this type of questions.

U(4) S(7) A(2)
U(4) S(7) S(7) R(3)
--------------------------------------------
P(0) E(5) A(2) C(4) E(5)
------------------------------------------

so P+E+A+C+E=0+5+2+4+5=16

932*9338=10270

U S S R
U S A
-----------
P E A S E

9 3 3 8
9 3 2
-------------
1 0 2 7 0
1+0+2+7+0=10

IF YOU WILL LOOK FOR THE POSTIONS OF THE LETTERS IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER THEN
U S A + U S S R = (21+21) IS P , (19+19) IS E , (1+19) IS A , (0+18) IS C , (19+19) IS E
P+E+A+C+E = (42+38+20+18+38) = 156

@All: Addition of two 1-digit nos can at max give a carry of 1 to the next left column. Hence, "U" in "USSR" has to be 9 for the addition to become a 5-digit no. Just give a thought !!!

plz gyz tell me how to solve this type of problem ..how u gyz decide the value of the alphabets
nick.ankur007@gmail.com send me the solution plz plz

9 4 3
94 4 7
------------
1 0 3 8 0

P+E+A+C+E = 1+0+2+7+0= 10

u=9 s=3 a=2 r=8 e=0 c=7 p=1
peace=1+0+2+7+0=10
so the ans=10
