Full solution

Q.
  1. Identify Total Sum: Identify the total sum of all numbers and the required sum for each line.\newlineGiven numbers: 13,14,15,16,1813, 14, 15, 16, 18.\newlineTotal sum of numbers = 13+14+15+16+18=7613 + 14 + 15 + 16 + 18 = 76.\newlineSince there are 44 lines (22 horizontal, 22 vertical) sharing these numbers, each line should sum to 76/4=1976 / 4 = 19.
  2. Calculate Required Sum: Assume a number for the center circle and check sums.\newlineLet's assume 1515 is in the center.\newlineThen, the pairs (13,16)(13, 16) and (14,18)(14, 18) can be used to complete the lines.\newlineCheck sums: 13+16=2913 + 16 = 29, 14+18=3214 + 18 = 32; these don't work because each pair exceeds 1919 when added to 1515.
