Put the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, & 7 in the circles so that each straight line of three
numbers add up to the same total.
Answers
HELLO DEAR,
YOU CAN FIND IN THE GIVEN ATTACHED,
THE SUM OF EVERY NO. ON EACH LINE IS EQUAL (I.E, 12)
I HOPE ITS HELP YOU DEAR,
THANKS
Given : 1,2,3,4,5,6 and 7 numbers & circles
To find : Put the numbers so that the each straight line of the three numbers add up to the three numbers
Solution:
Let say A , B , C , D , E , F & G are 7 numbers from 1 to 7
& D is in center
A & G , B & F , C & E are opposite
A + D + G = B + D + F = C + D + E
=> A + G = B + F = C + E
Adding all numbers
A + B + C + D + E + F + G + 2D
( A + B + C + D + E + F + G = 28 ( 1 to 7 sum)
= 28 + 2D
28 + 2D is Divisible by 3 as sum of 3 Equal sums
Hence
D = 1 , 4 , 7
Case 1
D = 1
28 + 2D = 30 Sum of Each = 10 , D = 1
=> A + G = B + F = C + E = 9
only possible solution
2 + 7 = 3 + 6 = 4 + 5
Case 2
D = 4
28 + 2D = 36 Sum of Each = 12 , D = 4
=> A + G = B + F = C + E = 98
only possible solution
21+ 7 = 2 + 6 = 3 + 5
Case 3
D = 7
28 + 2D = 42 Sum of Each = 14 , D = 7
=> A + G = B + F = C + E = 97
only possible solution
1 + 6 = 2 + 5 = 3 + 4
Hence 3 possible Solutions with center numbers 1 , 4 , 7
