question 158

Multiple Choice

With chosen values for a, b, and c, an oder 3 magic square can be constructed by substituting these values in the generalized form shown here.
-Use the given values of a, b, and c to construct an order 3 magic square and give the magic sum. a = 17, b = 3, c = -7

• A) \(M S = 40\) \(\begin{array}{|l|l|l|} \hline 20 & 21 & 10 \\ \hline 17 & 27 & 27 \\ \hline 24 & 13 & -7 \\ \hline \end{array}\)
• B) \(M S = 34\) \(\begin{array}{|c|c|c|} \hline 17 & 21 & 10 \\ \hline 7 & 3 & 27 \\ \hline 24 & 13 & 14 \\ \hline \end{array}\)
• C) \(M S = 51\) \(\begin{array}{|c|c|c|} \hline 20 & 21 & 10 \\ \hline 7 & 17 & 27 \\ \hline 24 & 13 & 14 \\ \hline \end{array}\)
• D) \(\mathrm { MS } = 51\) \(\begin{array}{|c|c|c|} \hline 21 & 20 & 10 \\ \hline 7 & 17 & 27 \\ \hline 24 & 13 & 14 \\ \hline \end{array}\)
