The house numbers are as follows
A 36 ,6
B 4 ,2
C 9 ,3
D 35 ,210
E 24 ,8


given B x C x D = 1260
also B + C + D = 2 x E,
A = E +(E/2)

we can solve this by finding the factor of 1260
again we have a condition that the numbers are between 2 to 222

now group the factors of 1260

There are 36 factors of 1260:

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, 18,20, 21, 28, 30, 35, 36, 42, 45, 60, 70, 84, 90,105, 126, 140, 180, 210, 252, 315, 630, 1260

as per the condition we must use only numbers between 2 & 222
therefore the count is reduced to 29 from 36

2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, 18,20, 21, 28, 30, 35, 36, 42, 45, 60, 70, 84, 90,105, 126, 140, 180, 210

now choose appropriate number matches for 1260 from reverse order for ease

210*6 = 210*3*2

by this 6,2,3,210,8
similarly 36,4,9,35,24 also suits

but generalized numbers will be in these multiples as follows

A will be a multiple of 6
B will be a multiple of 2
C will be a multiple of 3
D will be a multiple of 35
E will be a multiple of 8

think so i justified the answer but correct me if any ......

ans. the numbers are : 12, 4, 9, 35, 24
1260 = 4*9*35
4+9+35 = 48 = 2*E => E = 24(even)
thus A = 12

khushboo goenka  (8 years ago)

9,9,7,20,18
coz b*c*d=1260
and b+c+d=36 and 36/2=18
so e=18
a=9
