Answer» Let US assume right most two squares are a , b Then Sum of all the squares = 18 x 4 + a + b .......... (1) ALSO Sum of the squares before 7 = 18 Sum of the squares between 7, x = 18 and sum of the squares between x , 8 = 18 So Sum of the 14 squares = 18 + 7 + 18 + x + 18 + 8 + a + b...... (2) EQUATING 1 and 2 we get x = 3. Let us assume right most two squares are a , b Then Sum of all the squares = 18 x 4 + a + b ..........
