4th digit twice the first= 4th (2, 4, 6 or 8 ).. 1st and 2nd (1, 2, 3 or 4)

Last digit twice the third = 5th ( 2, 4, 6 or 8 ).. 3rd (1, 2, 3 or 4)..

Total sum = 18.. Condition satisfied by ==> 3, 3, 2, 6, 4

Digit = 33264

first number - X
2nd number - X
3rd number - Y
4th number - 2X
5th number - 2Y.
given that X+X+Y+2X+2Y = 18.
wch gives 4X+3Y = 18.
using trial nd error, let X values range from 1,2,3,4,…
X as 1 nd 2 gives Y as fractions, so unacceptable.
so the lowest digit of X that gives Y as whole number is 3.
I. e 4(3)+3Y =18.
therefore, Y = 2,when X=3.
X+X+Y+2X+2Y = 18.
3+3+2+6+4(33264)
cool
