Correct Answer: 5

Seven digits are used in all, so the sum has three digits, and being the total of two 2-digit numbers it must start with 1 followed by 0. If the units digit of the sum is $$g$$, then the four digits of the two numbers add to $$20 - g$$, and comparing with the value $$100 + g$$ of the sum gives $$9 \times (\text{sum of the tens digits}) = 80 + 2g$$. Only $$g = 5$$ makes this a whole number, and $$42 + 63 = 105$$ shows it works, so the units digit of the sum is 5.
