Select an option to attempt

Explanation

ABC + DEF = 1111, wherein A, B, C, D, E, and F are distinct non-zero digits.

We may get a resultant of 1111 if: C+F=11C + F = 11, say 2+9=112 + 9 = 11 B+E=10B + E = 10, say 3+7=103 + 7 = 10 A+D=10A + D = 10, say 4+6=104 + 6 = 10

We can double check this by adding 432+679=1111432 + 679 = 1111

So, A+B+C+D+E+F=4+3+2+6+7+9=31A + B + C + D + E + F = 4 + 3 + 2 + 6 + 7 + 9 = 31

Hence, option (D) is correct.
