Problem
In the multiplication question, the sum of the digits in the four boxes is:
[Multiply 
using long multiplication. Find the sum of the four numbers in the thousands place column.]
Solution
Multiplying, we find that the numbers in the thousands place column are 1, 9, 1, and 2 respectively. Adding yields a sum of 12, so the answer is

Solution
While doing the long multiplication the numbers in the thousand place are 1, 9, and 2 respectively. When added the sum is 13, so the answer is (A) 13
879 x 492 = 432,468
879
x 492
1,758 79,110
+351,600 =432,468
Therefore add 1+9+1+2 = 13 The Answer is (A) 13
