Answer:
(B) 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the units column. The only sum of 3 and a single digit that will end in 1 is the sum ...
3 + 8 = 11
This tells you A = 8, so the top number is 1983, and the middle number is B78.
Considering the first two columns, we know that 83 +78 = 161, so there must be a carry of 1 into the third column. That makes it have the sum ...
1 + 9 + B = <something ending in 4>
We know the something cannot be 04 or 24, so must be 14. Then ...
10 + B = 14 ⇒ B = 4
__
So, the whole sum is ...
1983 +478 = 2461
and the letter values are ...
Multiply 7x6 since when using pemdas, multiplication and division can be inverted, i.e. if multiplication is before division then you multiply and vice versa.
Hope this helps!

EXPLANATION
From the Pascal's triangle,
The coefficients are :
1, 5, 10,10, 5,1
Because of the negative sign, the expansion will alternate sign.
We now put y=5 into the expansion to get,
