George and Martha run a company with their five daughters. The telephone extensions all have four positive unequal digits and strangely only four digits appear in the seven extensions:
\[\begin{array}{|l|r||}
\hline Andrea & abcd \\
\hline Bertha & acdb \\
\hline Caroline & bacd \\
\hline Dorothy & dabc \\
\hline Elizabeth & dbca \\
\hline George & cabd \\
\hline Martha & cdab \\
\hline \end{array}\]
They noticed the following:
Andrea’s and Bertha’s add up to Dorothy’s.
Bertha’s and Elizabeth’s add up to George’s.
Caroline’s and Dorothy’s add up to Martha’s.
What is Andrea’s extension?
