Method 1: Test examples
 
Method 2: When you do bash:
 
 
<math>(100A+10B+A)(10C+D) = 100C+100D+10C+D</math>
 
<math>100AC+100BC+100AC+100AD+10BD+AD=1010C+101D</math>
 
<math>1010(A-1)(C) + 101(A-1)D + 100CB+10D=0</math>
 
<math>A=1</math>
 
<math>D=0</math>
 
<math>B=0</math>
 
 
And now 0+1=2. I mean, 1. So the answer is <math>\boxed{\textbf{(A)}</math>

Problem

In the multiplication problem below $A$, $B$, $C$, $D$ are different digits. What is $A+B$?

\[\begin{array}{cccc}& A & B & A\\ \times & & C & D\\ \hline C & D & C & D\\ \end{array}\]

$\textbf{(A)}\ 1\qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 2\qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 3\qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 4\qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 9$

Solution 1

$CDCD = CD \cdot 101$, so $ABA = 101$. Therefore, $A = 1$ and $B = 0$, so $A+B=1+0=\boxed{\textbf{(A)}\ 1}$.
