  explanation:
  
  1. try to find 1 & o
  here in the 2nd row we can clearly see
  U*HOP= HOP
  hence we can say U=1
  
  2.check the unit multiplication i;e:
  S*P=O
  U*P=P
  D*P=P
  
  here U*P & D*P gives the same result i;e: P
  so we can take D=6
  so the expected value for P could be{2, 4, 8}
  
  3.now check through the additions:
  column 2 from left: P+carry = H
  so the expected value for H could be{3, 5, 9}
  as in this case carry must be 1
  
  and also one more addition with P is given i;e, P+P=S
  so we can predict value for S also {4, 8, 6}
  
  now one more addition:
  3rd column from the left:
  U+H+E+Carry= S+ Carry,
  now check with all the expected value we found
  E=9, H=3, P=2 & S=4
  and the problem solved.:)

• quetions were:- a) value of o? ans-8
  b)sum of O+P+S+D? ans-20
  c)which of the following num doesnot appear in the solution?
  obtions : 9,7,8,all of these ans-7

• i think question is wrong,because p=2,but in first product we get p=1 after multip, so either p=2 is wrong or p should not be there in first product,insted we can write r.

• as far as logic goes,
  
  hop*u=hop (So u must be 1 here)
  hop*d=ppep(here p*d results in p so it can be only 1,5,6 but 1 cannot be value so only 5,6)
  in addition of (p,h,e) carry over goes to p carry over can only be (1 or 2)i.e whatever the value of p is h is greater than that by 1 or 2
  now put the value of d as 6 then p can be (2,4,8) just put the value of p as 2 and h as 3 multiplication gets solved instantly

• in question S & O are swapped, for the solving it doesn't make difference, but when answering, what is the value of O, then it does.
