Refer to picture

Calculating sums, we get a result of:

  • 2A + 3B + 2C + 2D + 2E + 2E =
  • B + 2(sum of all digits) = 47

Sum of all digits is:

  • 1 + 2 + 3 +4 + 5 + 6 = 1/2*6*(1 + 6) = 21

Considering this in the equation above, we get:

  • B + 2*21 = 47
  • B = 47 - 42
  • B = 5

Correct answer is (E) 5
