i'm just getting a hint that the sum of a particular digit of the first no. and another digit of the 2nd no. must not be ≥ 10. Right ?

yes absolutely

to make things more intersting, we can even pose a question, what is the number of consecutive numbers that we can add so that there is no carry..

remember,

10, 11

11, 12

10, 11, 12

will all be different cases :)

for the last digit the combinations of consecutive nos which add up to something less than 10 are 5,4;4,3;3,2;2,1;1,0. .so last places of the nos can be filled up in 5 ways.
second places and third places of both nos shud be equal.equal nos which add up to less than 10 are 4,4;3,3;2,2;1,1;0,0. so these two places can be filled up in 5 ways
.first place can be filled up in 4 ways excluding 0

so total no of pairs are 4*5*5*5=500

sir is it
(11C2)3*92

a b c d
+
l m n o
___________
(a+l) (b+m) (c+n) (o+d)

now

(o+d) ≤9
o+d+k =9

no.of solution is 11C2

similarlty for others three

so

(11C2)3.92
