The same substitution (each letter corresponds to a particular digit) has been applied to all four summations. What are the substitutions?

A. LFOH           B. LTEL
 + EMAO            + LAHF
   MOST              HOST

C. ELRO           D. OTTH
 + OLRF            + LETH 
   MORE              FORE

(In reply to My try by Shantanu Kirkire)

the four additions are as follows :

A) 1423+6872 = 8295

B) 1561 + 1734 = 3295

C) 6102 + 2104 = 8206

D) 2553 + 1653 =4206

that is , my answers are the same as Shantanu's.AND , I got the answer in about five and a half minutes ! So, is it an easy problem or I actually can think or what ?
