Now with Hagrid’s task out of the way, Harry now faces Mad Eye Moody. Moody has prepared a special mechanical puzzle for Harry. There are 9 cubes, whose front and back sides are shown in the image below. The image on the left is the front, and right next to it is the back. The task is to arrange them in a 3x3 grid. The following conditions need to be followed: •Each letter from A to F need to be replaced with a unique number from 1-9. No two alphabets can be replaced with the same value. Once a number is assigned to an alpha- bet, the alphabet is always replaced by the same number. For example, if A is assigned the value 1, wherever there is a A, it will take the value of 1. •The Black region should be aligned with the Black region on the grid. When arranged, each equation reading from left to right, and each equation read up to down, should be correct. •When the entire arrangement is turned upside down, and placed on the 2nd grid, simi- larly, all equations should be correct. All calculations are performed in order from left to right, or top to bottom, and each individual calculation results in a positive integer value (no negative numbers, zeros, or fractions ever need to be used). What is the value of (A xx B) + (C xx D) + (E xx F) ?

Answer»

`3X - 4y - 28 = 0`
`4x +3y - 28 = 0`
`3x - 4y +28 = 0`
`x +2Y +7 = 0`

Solution :
Slope of `AF = (5-(-4))/(-4+1) = (9)/(-3) =- 3`
`:.` Slope of `CF = (1)/(3)`
`:.` EQUATION of CF is `x - 3y - 11 = 0` (i)
Slope of `AF =(5-1)/(-4-1) = (4)/(-8) =- (1)/(2)`
`:.` Slope of `BE = 2`
`:.` Equation of BE is `2x - y - 7 = 0`(ii)
Solving (i) and (ii), we get point `O =(2,-3)`
Equation of AC is `x+2y - 6 = 0` (iii)
Solving (i) and (iii) we get point `C (8,-1)`
Also slope of AO is `-4//3`
