• B A N A N A
  2 4 9 4 9 4
  + G U A V A
  6 5 4 7 4
  _____________
  O R A N G E
  3 1 4 9 6 8
  
  ->go from right side A+A=E assume A={from 0 to 9}u will get E in every case and A+A=N( it means there must be carry 1 from the previous so A+A+1=N) u will get N also and so on.. until u find the correct combination in this case for A=4 we get it.

  B A N A N A
  + G U A V A
  ---O R A N G E
  
  In this category of question we have assumption and corresponding to that assumption we make cases and reject the irrelevant cases.
  
  Points to keep in mind while solving such questions are-
  1.all alphabets are distinct digits 0-9
  2.Maximum sum of two Alphabets is 18 i.e. if A=9 then A+A=8 with carry 1 !!
  3.when two alphabets are in same column then the sum will give an even number
  
  Now lets understand the solution.
  B has carry 1 as it gives different Letter O (point 2)--->B+1=O i.e. B N=9
  
  N+U=A put values of N,A we get U=5
  
  A+G=R as N+U=4 with carry 1 which if forwarded so (carry)1+A+G=R => 5+G=R
  Now again we have to assume value of G in such a way that the sum 5+G gives a number with carry 1. Why I want number with carry 1 ? Because B+1=O this 1 is carry which came from 5+G=R.
  
  Assuming G=6 we get R=1
  
  N+V=G put values of N,G and assume V such that the sum gives carry 1 (why?--see calculation for N , we assumed carry there) ,,,,,,we get V=7
  
  now we have to find only B and O , as B+1=O implies that B and O are consecutive digits , Therefore possible values of B and O are 2 and 3 respectively.
  
  R=1,B=2,O=3,A=4,U=5,G=6,V=7,E=8,N=9
  
  
  
  I know it's quite lengthy and complex but with some efforts you can solve these type question.
  I hope you find my solution helpful.
