1.Rob says that it is possible to create a magic square with the numbers 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10. What is the correct
response to his statement?
Choose the best response below.
A. Some of the given numbers are even numbers. Without the inclusion of 2 for a factor, it is impossible
for a magic square to include even numbers.
B.
Dividing the sum of the numbers by 3 does not result in a natural number. Therefore, there is no magic
square that can be made from the numbers, as the fixed sum for each row, column, and diagonal is
equal to the sum of the numbers divided by 3.
C.
Magic squares can only be made with numbers that are less than 10. Therefore, it is impossible to
make a magic square from the given numbers, as they include 10.
D.
It is possible to make a magic square from any given 9 numbers. There is nothing special about these
particular one’s.
