This is not correct.

 

Given unsigned char A=255, B=1;

 

A+B overflows, but ur alg fail to detect it.

say, given the limit of the unsigned as  k bits. Find log to base 2^k. If
it's one in both, it'll result in an overflow.

check if the sum is less than any of the two numbers that means the sum
resulted in a overflow.

This is an interview question.
What is the simples way to check if the sum of two unsigned integers 
has resulted in an overflow. ?
