Answer 2

Answer is             12          5           10            

                              7           9           11            

                              8           13          6        

Step-by-step explanation:

To make the sum of each row, column, and diagonal as 27.

Numbers to be used = 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13

We can start with the middle number 9 and place it in the center of the square.

Now, place even numbers in alternate boxes( in the corners) and odd numbers again in alternate boxes.

Thus, the arrangement would look like

                             12          5           10             = 27

                              7           9           11              = 27

                              8           13          6              = 27

                          =27         =27        =27    

Diagonals also add up to 27.
