The following table represents addition of two six-digit numbers given in the first and the second rows, while sum is given in the third row. In the representation, each of the digits $0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9$ has been coded with one letter among A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K, with distinct letters representing distinct digits.

       B   H    A      A    G    F
   +      A   H    J      F    K    F

B=9
B is the second target for decoding, B+1=1, this is only possible if 9+1=10 and another 1 carried in from previous digit addition is included making it 9+1+1=11. So, B=9.

Please refer to my answer in the below link for a detailed approach.
