Answer
67631Because of 'a' and 'c' there are three possibilities:
2-21- (with 7 and 6 we only get 18)
4-42- (with 7 and 1 (b) we get 18)
6-63- (b says we need a 7 and a 1, and d shows the position.)

very nice logic
I did it differently. The three unknown digits total 15. The repeated digit must be even, so it can't be seven. There's only one set of three numbers with two even numbers less than seven that total 15: 6,6,3. Assigning the numbers was simple after that.
@javaguru: 6,5,4 is another set of three numbers (two being even) whose sum is 15. Not that it works for this teaser since the two even numbers are not the same; just saying.
