Question

Each of the six letters stands for a different number, 1 through 9. Using the three clues, can you deduce the number represented by each letter?

A B C
D E F

B x C = A + D
The total of each row is 16.
The sum of the first two columns is the same, and the sum of the rightmost column is 12.

Answer 1

A = 9

B = 2

C = 5

D = 1

E = 8

F = 7

Explanation:

A 9 B 2 C 5 = 16

D 1 E 8 F 7 = 16

10 10 12

BxC (2x5) = 10

A+D (9+1) = 10
