if the equation A+B+C+D+E=FG is the two digit number whose value is 10F+G and the letters A,B,C,D,E,F and G each represent different digits. If FG is as large as possible, what is the value of G?
a)4 b)5 c)1 d)3

• that also not right as 3 is repeating 2 times..
  ans should be:
  9+8+7+5+2=31, so option 'c' is right choice.
  am i correct?

• FG is as large as possible and all the 7 numbers should be different.
  Let’s try out a few possibilities..
  9 + 8 + 7 + 6 + 5 = 35…5 is getting repeated twice.
  9 + 8 + 7 + 6 + 4 = 34…4 is getting repeated
  9 + 8 + 7 + 5 + 4 = 33…3 repeats
  
  
  9 + 8 + 6 + 5 + 4 = 32
  None of the numbers repeat in the above case and 32 is the maximum number FG can have. The value of G is 2.

• 9+8+6+5+4 = 3 2..

• Answer will be :
  9+8+7+5+2=31
  
  so, value of G=1.

• but SUBRAT your result is 33..
  which does not give the unique values of F and G

• yaa u r right....yeah i will be 32..i:e--9+8+7+5+3=32
• 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(21)
• i think its 3...
  9+8+7+6+5=35
  but as question states a,b,c,d,e,f,g are all dissimlar so...
  it must be..
  9+8+7+5+4=33....so all digits are unique

• FG is as large as possible==== 4+5+6+8+9=32
• 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(2)
• 9+8+6+5+4=32 so 2 will be the answer
• 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(1)
• guyss ....in ques they asked find the max possible such that
  9 + 8 + 6 + 5 + 4 = 32 G value is 2 not 1..
  9+8+7+5+2=31..here 31 is smaller than 32 ..but we have 2 find max value ......so no answer for abve que ..right answer is 2

• 32 will be correct answer not 31 as fg should b as large as possible and 32>31
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
• 9+8+7+5+4=33 no repeat of numbers!
  so,G will be 3.
• 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(1)
• as d sum is alarge as possible so it can be..
  (9+8+7+6+5)=35 so g is 5

• plz any one tell me why we are not consedering 6 and 4
• 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(2)
• 1+2+3+4+5=15. so why not 5 is the answer
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(2)
• 4+5+6+7+8=30. so 0 can be the answer.
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• @subrat bhadra can u plz explain clearly in step wise
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• FG is as large as possible and a,b,c,d,e represent different digit so to get large no we take largest single digit
  9+8+7+6+5=35
  now 35=10F+G (should be a 2 digit no)
  so f should b 3 this make g=5
  35=10*3+5
  35=35
  right??
