Question 13
In the five-sided star shown, the letters , , , and are replaced by the numbers 3, 5, 6, 7 and 9, although not necessarily in that order. The sums of the numbers at the ends of the line segments , , , , and form an arithmetic sequence, although not necessarily in that order. What is the middle term of the arithmetic sequence?
Solution
median=mean
Sum of AB+BC+CD+DE+EA = 2(A+B+C+D+E) = 2*30 = 60
CD is middle of arithmetic sequence, so it must be average of the 5 numbers: so CD = 60/5 = 12
