It may help to write the problem in the form:
\X Y
A B C
+ C B A
-----------
D D D D
Where X and Y are the "carry" digits
Now, it is reasonable to assume that neither A nor C are 0. This would make the number ABC to be BC and the number CBA to be BA.
The sum C+A is (YD). That is, put down D and carry Y. With digits 1-9, the value of Y is either 0 or 1.
The sum A+C is also (YD), but X+A+C is (DD). Of course, DDDD is not 0000, but it could be 1111 if B=0:
A B D
2 0 9
3 0 8
4 0 7
5 0 6
6 0 5
7 0 4
8 0 3
9 0 2
The value of B is 0.
