Problem 2

Letters $A,B,C,$ and $D$ represent four different digits selected from $0,1,2,\ldots ,9.$ If $(A+B)/(C+D)$ is an integer that is as large as possible, what is the value of $A+B$?

$\mathrm{(A) \  }13 \qquad \mathrm{(B) \  }14 \qquad \mathrm{(C) \  } 15\qquad \mathrm{(D) \  }16 \qquad \mathrm{(E) \  } 17$
