Solve this..
◻➕◻➕◻➕◻➕◻=30
Fill the boxes using (1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15)
U can also repeat the numbers..This question came in UPSC Final Exams held in Dec '13...... You will be glad to note that only Gaurav Agarwal (IAS Topper) could solve it.


Anonymous: Actually, adding any odd number of odd numbers always gives an odd number.

okka3125: So do i.
Anonymous: Hey, I think that the digits given aren't specified as digits, may be they are symbols.
okka3125: True. I thought about that. maybe it's five digits and four symbols in between.
Anonymous: No, I was thinking "9" ( if it is a symbol ) can be inverted and made "6", what do you think about it, huh?

which is 30
