1) Let α=1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9=45  be the sum of all digits in basis 10.  Let S_1  be the first sum, S_(1,0)  be the sum of all  unit digits, S_(1,1)  of tens′ digits, etc...  S_(1,0) =105×α  S_(1,1) =10×(10×α+1+2+3+4+5)  =10×(10α+15)  S_(1,2) =α×100  S_(1,3) =50  S_1 =105α+100α+150+100α+50  =405α+200  =18.425 _□

S_(2,0) =67α  S_(2,1) =600α+10×(1+2+3+4+5+6)+7  =60α+10×15+7=60α+157  S_(2,2) =(1+2+3+4+5)×100+6×70  =1000+420=1420  S_2 =7292

I might have made a few mistakes along the way.  As for 3) and 4) you compute β=(1+3+5+7+9)  and γ=(2+4+6+8) and addpt the method    or (faster) you simply divide the results by 2  and add check for missing odd numbers

The second method has a higher chance of mistake. But it's much nicer
