Question

Complete the given Magic Square so that the sum of each row and column is same.

• A. $\frac{7}{17}$
• B. $\frac{6}{17}$
• C. $\frac{5}{17}$
• D. $\frac{4}{17}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $\frac{7}{17}$

In a magic square, the sum of the numbers in each row, column are same..

Consider, the first row, here the sum of the numbers is $\frac{6}{17}+\frac{5}{17}+\frac{3}{17}=\frac{14}{17}$, in second row it is also $\frac{14}{7}$, in columns also the sum of the numbers in first and third is $\frac{14}{17}$.
Now,
The missing number is
$=\frac{14}{17}-\frac{5}{17}-\frac{2}{17}$
$=\frac{14-5-2}{17}$
$=\frac{7}{17}$
