Step-by-step explanation:

To create a magic square for any series, follow the below logic

1. place the first (smallest) number in the middle of first row (position is 1, 2)
2. subsequent next number needs to be put on the top right corner of the current position
3. if you are already in the first row, row above would be last row. Likewise if you are already in the rightmost (i.e. 3rd) column, its right would be the leftmost (i.e. 1st) column
4. If the top right corner of the current number is already filled, put the next number below the current position
5. repeat steps 2 - 4 to fill the complete magic square

Any row, column or diagonal of this magic square adds to 42.
