Find out all possible groups of three different numbers that add up to 13 and arrange them accordin..

Answer / guest

It is clear that 9 must go with 1 and 3. Also, no digit may
be used in more than two sums. Hence, there are 2 cases:

Case I: If 8 goes with 1 and 4, then 7 goes with 2 and 4,
then 6 goes with 2 and 5.

Case II: If 8 goes with 2 and 3, then 7 goes with 2 and 4,
then 6 goes with 3 and 4.

But in case II, 3 is used in three sums. Hence, Case I is
correct. And the possible arrangements are:

9 3 1 5 6 2

8 7

4 7 2 4 8 1

6 3

5 9

Thus, E must be 4.
