What is the minimum and maximum nuber of digits in the sum of any two four-digit numbers?
The minimum number is when we add the least two four
digit numbers

 1000
+1000
-----
 2000

That has four digits, so 4 is the minimum number of 
digits it can have.

--------------------------------------

The maximum number is when we add the greatest two 
four digit numbers

 9999
+9999
-----
19998

That has five digits, so 5 is the maximum number of 
digits it can have.
