1.Q) G+L+L+S = 21

2.Q) A+S+P+S= 24

3.Q) W+G+S+S= 19

S P X
V S W
G L L S
L L V W *
A S P S * *
L A W G S S
1 step
first of all u can see that none of the x v s w can be 0 or 1 i assume that u already know this
further S cannot be zero THIS WILL HELP US IN ASSUMING THE VALUES OF THESE VARIABLES
2 step
search for x and w by hit and trial as we cannot take s as 0 and 1 lets take it as 2 and check w from 3 to 9, the value of w contradict hence we need to change the value x to 3 and take w =2,4,5,6,7,8,9 not as 3 and check again w contradicts that means we need to change the value of x to 4 and w as 2 the value does not contradict
then it looks like this after putting the value of w ,x and s
8 P 4
V 8 2
G L L 8
L L V 2 *
A 8 P 8 * *
L A 2 G 8 8

Now look this line 8 L + W = 8 and no carry is coming from s = 8 hence definately L = 6
8 3 4
V 8 2
G 6 6 8
6 6 V 2 *
A 8 P 8 * *
6 A 2 G 8 8
FURTHER 8 P 4 * 2 = G 6 6 8 this implies that P = 3 and G = 1

8 3 4
V 8 2
1 6 6 8
6 6 V 2 *
A 8 3 8 * *
6 A 2 1 8 8

NOW FOCUS ON THIS LINE 6+V+8 + 1 AND NO CARRY IS COMMING THIS IMPLIES THAT V MUST HAVE BEEN 7 THIS WILL BECOME

8 3 4
7 8 2
1 6 6 8
6 6 7 2 *
A 8 3 8 * *
6 A 2 1 8 8
AFTER REPLACING ALL VALUES AND SOLVING THIS U WILL GET ALL VALUES AS
