Answer:

The numbers should be even, it means the unit digits are 4, 6 or 8.

The numbers should be minimal, it means the hundred's digits are 4 and 5.

With this we have possible numbers:

  • 4x6 and 5y8, here 6 and 8 could be exchanged.

The options are:

  • 496 and 578 or
  • 476 and 598 or
  • 498 and 576 or
  • 478 and 596

The sum of the two numbers is:

  • 1074
