We have

If

, but 
, a contradiction.
If 
and 
, then 
, a contradiction.
If and

, a contradiction.
If and

, a contradiction.
If and 
, then 
, a contradiction.
If and 
, then 
, a contradiction.
If and 
, then , a contradiction.
If and 
, then 
and 
. Thus, we must have cde=2(hij), where 
are distinct digits from the list 
.
If 
, then we have 
, a contradiction. Thus, we must have 
, and therefore 
.
If 
, then we have 
, so 
.
If we have 
then 
, a contradiction.
If we have 
then 
(as 
is not in the list of permitted digits). Thus, we must have 
.
If we have 
, then 
, a contradiction.
If we have 
, then 
, which is not in the list of permitted digits, a contradiction.
If we have 
, then 
, a contradiction.
Thus, we must have 
, and therefore 
. But now we must have 
odd as . Thus, we have 
and 
. Thus, our minimal responsible pair of two 5-digit numbers is
abcde=26970,
fghij=13485.
So, we have b+c+d+i+j=6+9+7+8+5=35.
