Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This kind of problem can be solved by hit and Trial method while keeping few things in minds

Multiple solutions can be there

one of the solution

2 + 24 + 22  = 48

10 + 16 + 22 = 48

10 + 20 + 18 = 48

2 + 8 + 20 + 18 = 48

4 + 6 + 20 + 18 = 48

4 + 12 + 14 + 18 = 48   ( here 12 & 14 can be interchanged)

Another Solution

2 + 24 + 22  = 48

12 + 14 + 22 = 48

12 + 20 + 16 = 48

2 + 10 + 20 + 16 = 48

8 + 4 + 20 + 16 = 48

8 + 6 + 18 + 16 = 48   ( here 6 & 18 can be interchanged)

2 + 24 + 22  = 48

12 + 14 + 22 = 48

12 + 16 + 20 = 48

2 + 10 + 16 + 20 = 48

4 + 8 + 16 + 20 = 48

4 + 6 + 18 + 20 = 48   ( here 6 & 18 can be interchanged)
