由 \(ab<bc<cd\),可得 \(a\le b\le c\)。等差数列条件为 \[ \begin{aligned} 2(10b+c)&=(10a+b) \\ &\quad +(10c+d) \end{aligned}\text{,}\]整理得 \[10(a-2b+c)=-b+2c-d\text{。}\]右边是 \(10\) 的倍数。因为 \(b\le c\),四个符号都是数字,且 \(b\ge1\),所以右边介于 \(-9\) 和 \(17\) 之间。因此它只能是 \(0\) 或 \(10\)。
情况 \(1\): \[ \begin{aligned} -b+2c-d&=10, \\ a&=2b-c+1 \end{aligned}\text{。}\]
下面逐一考察 \(c\) 的可能值。
\(c=6\):\(b+d=2, 2b-5=a\)。由第一个方程有 \(b\leq 2\),但这无法满足第二个方程。
\(c=7\):\(b+d=4, 2b-6=a\)。由第一个方程有 \(b\leq 4\),由第二个方程有 \(b > 3\),所以只有 \(b=4\) 这一种情况。
\(c=8\):\(b+d=6, 2b-7=a\)。由第一个方程有 \(b\leq 6\),由第二个方程有 \(b > 3\),所以 \(b=4,5,6\)。给出三种情况。
\(c=9\):\(b+d=8, 2b-8=a\)。由第一个方程有 \(b\leq 8\),由第二个方程有 \(b > 4\),所以 \(b=5,6,7,8\)。给出四种情况。本情况的解为 \[ \begin{gathered} 2470,1482,3581,5680, \\ 2593,4692,6791,8890 \end{gathered}\text{,}\]共 \(8\) 个。
情况 \(2\): \[-b+2c-d=0\text{,}\]\[2b-a-c=0\text{,}\]这表示四个数字构成等差数列。
若公差为 \(1\),则 \(1 \leq a \leq 6\),给出 \(6\) 个解。
若公差为 \(2\),则 \(1 \leq a \leq 3\),给出 \(3\) 个解。若公差至少为 \(3\),就会迫使 \(d=a+3r>9\)。因此本情况给出 \(9\) 个解。
总解数为 \(8+9 = 17\)。
所以正确答案是 D。
English
From \(ab<bc<cd\), we have \(a\le b\le c.\) The arithmetic-sequence condition is \[ \begin{aligned} 2(10b+c)&=(10a+b) \\ &\quad +(10c+d), \end{aligned} \] which rearranges to \[10(a-2b+c)=-b+2c-d.\] The right side is a multiple of \(10.\) Because \(b\le c\) and all four symbols are digits with \(b\ge1,\) it lies between \(-9\) and \(17\). Hence it is either \(0\) or \(10.\)
Case \(1:\) \[ \begin{aligned} -b+2c-d&=10, \\ a&=2b-c+1. \end{aligned} \]
We can look at the possible values of \(c.\)
\(c=6:\) \(b+d=2, 2b-5=a.\) Thus, \(b\leq 2\) from the first equation, but can’t work for the second equation.
\(c=7:\) \(b+d=4, 2b-6=a.\) Thus, \(b\leq 4\) from the first equation, and \(b > 3\) from the second equation. This makes one case for \(b=4.\)
\(c=8:\) \(b+d=6, 2b-7=a.\) Thus, \(b\leq 6\) from the first equation, and \(b > 3\) from the second equation. This makes three cases for \(b=4,5,6.\)
\(c=9:\) \(b+d=8, 2b-8=a.\) Thus, \(b\leq 8\) from the first equation, and \(b > 4\) from the second equation. This makes four cases for \(b=5,6,7,8.\) Altogether this case gives \[ \begin{gathered} 2470,1482,3581,5680, \\ 2593,4692,6791,8890, \end{gathered} \] for \(8\) solutions.
Case \(2:\) \[-b+2c-d=0,\]\[2b-a-c=0,\] which means the digits are an arithmetic sequence.
If the difference is \(1,\) then \(1 \leq a \leq 6\) makes \(6\) solutions.
If the difference is \(2,\) then \(1 \leq a \leq 3\) makes \(3\) solutions. A difference of at least \(3\) would force \(d=a+3r>9.\) This case therefore gives \(9\) solutions.
In total, the number of solutions is \(8+9 = 17.\)
Thus, the correct answer is D .
