The given alphametic has four solutions as follows:
2108/4743=4/9
2604/5859=4/9
2740/6165=4/9
3052/6867=4/9
So, (FOUR, NINE) = (2108, 4743), (2604, 5859), (2740,6165), (3052, 6867)
Then, 2833$1#4 --> FREE$O#N, FI_ _ $_#R, F_ _ _$I#U,
RIFF$I#U
The first one gives FREETOWN, the capital of SIERRA LEONE. No definitive conclusion can be deduced from the other three.
Consequently, the required country is SIERRA LEONE.
