Puzzle
11. Can you solve this puzzle? Write the numbers 1,2, 3, 4,5, 6 in the circles, so that the sum of the numbers on each side of the figure is 12.
Ans.
Upper train have
= (19 – 5) + (6 – 15) + (7 – 3) + (6 – 10) + (4 – 20) + (1 – 7) + (5 – 4)
= 14 – 9 + 4 – 4 – 16 – 6 + 1
= 19 – 35 = -16
Lower train have
= (17 – 20) + (3 – 19) + (9 + 12) + (9 – 20)
= -3 – 16 + 21 – 11
= -30 + 21 = -30 + 21 = -9
