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

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

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

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

Method 1: Test $examples.$

Method 2: Bash it out to $waste$ time

$(100A+10B+A)(10C+D) = 1000C+100D+10C+D$ $1000AC+100BC+10AC+100AD+10BD+AD=1010C+101D$

$1010AC+100BC+101AD = 1010C + 101D$

$1010(A-1)(C) + 101(A-1)D + 100CB + 10BD=0$

$A=1$ , $B=0$

And $0+1=1$ , thus the answer is $A$
