The problem uses a step-by-step logical approach to deduce the unknown digits in the given equation by analyzing each part separately and combining the conditions.

It starts by finding the possible values for the first digit, then uses that to limit the options for the second part, and so on until reaching the final values.

The first part can only be 2 based on the logic explained.

Question:

Find the unknown alphabets in the given equation.


(I) (II)
SPART X 4 = TRAPS

Condition: Digit should not repeat

Answer:

Take part - I in the consideration.

S can’t be a number which shall generate carry because part – II contains only 5 digits.
S = 1, 2, 3, 4,……..
Let’s see
If S =1 then
1 x 4 = 4 (No carry)
If S = 2 then
2 x 4 = 8 (Again no carry)
If S = 3 then
3 x 4 = 12 (Carry….. :) )
We will always find carry if will go for other numbers which are greater than 3.
Hence S can be 1 or 2.

Now take part – II in consideration.


If S = 1

Condition: Then Tx4 (from part – I) must give an answer in which first digit contains
no. “1”

1PART T x 4 = X1 (Here “X” is unknown)


x 4
TRAP1

T may be any number, now have look…..

T=1, 2, 3, 4, …..
1 x 4 = 4 (Don’t satisfies above condition)
2 x 4 = 8 (Don’t satisfies above condition)
3 x 4 = 12 (Don’t satisfies above condition)
4 x 4 = 16 (Don’t satisfies above condition)
5 x 4 = 20 (Don’t satisfies above condition)
6 x 4 = 24 (Don’t satisfies above condition)
7 x 4 = 28 (Don’t satisfies above condition)
8 x 4 = 32 (Don’t satisfies above condition)
9 x 4 = 36 (Don’t satisfies above condition)

Hence “S” can’t be “1”, it must be “2” [2PART X 4 = TRAP2]


If S = 2

Condition: Then 4xT (from part – I) must give an answer in which first digit contains
no. “2”

2PART T x 4 = X2 (Here “X” is unknown)


x 4
TRAP2

T=1, 2, 3, 4, …..
1 x 4 = 4 (Don’t satisfies above condition)
2 x 4 = 8 (Don’t satisfies above condition)
3 x 4 = 12 (Satisfies above condition)
4 x 4 = 16 (Don’t satisfies above condition)
5 x 4 = 20 (Don’t satisfies above condition)
6 x 4 = 24 (Don’t satisfies above condition)
7 x 4 = 28 (Don’t satisfies above condition)
8 x 4 = 32 (Satisfies above condition)
9 x 4 = 36 (Don’t satisfies above condition)

Sub condition 1: Now T can be 3 or 8 (From above)

(I) (II)
2PART X 4 = TRAP2

If T = 3,

2PAR3 2 x 4 = 8 or 2 x 4 + 1 (carry because of “P”) = 9


x 4
3RAP2

In any condition 2 x 4, from part – I can’t give digit “3”


2 x 4 = 8, or if any carry comes because of “P” then it may be digit “9”

Sub condition 2: Now T can be 8 or 9(From above)


From sub condition 1 & 2 we can easily understand T can’t be “9” or “3”

Hence T = 8 [2PAR8 X 4 = 8RAP2]


Now our equation is looking little attractive 0
2PAR8
2PAR8 X 4 = 8RAP2 x 4
8RAP2

In the above equation we can easily observe that “P” shouldn’t be the no. which can
generate carry or else T will become “9” which is not true.
Now P can be either 1 or 2 (Remember we did this exercise earlier). But as per given
condition digits can’t be repeat.

Means if S = 2 then “P” must be “1” [21AR8 X 4 = 8RA12]


(I) (I)
21AR8 X 4 = 8RA12.

Now [R x 4 (from part – I) + 3] must give an answer in which first digit contains no. “1”
3
21AR8 R x 4 + 3 = X1 (Here “X” is unknown)
x 4
8RA12

R can be any number…..

R=1, 2, 3, 4, …..
1 x 4 + 3 = 7 (Don’t satisfies above condition)
2 x 4 + 3 = 11 (Satisfies above condition)
3 x 4 + 3 = 15 (Don’t satisfies above condition)
4 x 4 + 3 = 19 (Don’t satisfies above condition)
5 x 4 + 3 = 23 (Don’t satisfies above condition)
6 x 4 + 3 = 27 (Don’t satisfies above condition)
7 x 4 + 3 = 31 (Satisfies above condition)
8 x 4 + 3 = 35 (Don’t satisfies above condition)
9 x 4 + 3 = 39 (Don’t satisfies above condition)

We can easily understand R = 2 or 7. Again as per given condition digits can’t be repeat.

So if S = 2, “R” must be “7” [21A78 X 4 = 87A12]

Only one unknown wow!!!! Have a look…


3
21A78 A x 4 + 3 = XA (Here “X” is unknown)
x 4
87A12

From above
9 x 4 + 3 = 3 9 (Satisfies above condition)

“A” must be “9”

Here is your solution 21978 X 4 = 87912

Party time!!!!!!!
