The number is 6210001000. www.ddhw.com Denotes the digits as x0, x1, …, x9, left to right. Obviously, x0 + x1 + … + x9 = 10.www.ddhw.com (1) x9 = 0 or 1 (o/w sum > 10). If x9 = 1, then x1 >= 2 (obviously, x1 != 1), and some other x = 9, thus sum > 10. Hence x9 = 0.www.ddhw.com (2) Similarly x8 = 0.www.ddhw.com (3) x7 = 0 or 1. If x7 = 1, then x1 >= 2. Let x1 = 2 and x2 =1, we can only have x0 = 7. But the sum is 11 > 10. (4) x6 =1, similarly as in (3), we have x1 = 2, x2 =1, x0 = 6, and all others are 0. www.ddhw.com
