Logical Puzzle: Sum of 5 Arithmetic Integers

Given:

  • Five different integers A, B, C, D, E in ascending order
  • Common difference between adjacent integers = 8
  • D is greatest, A is least
  • B > E and B < C
  • Sum = E

Let A = x, then:

  • A = x
  • E = x + 8
  • B = x + 16
  • C = x + 24
  • D = x + 32

Total Sum = 5x + 80 = E = x + 8 → Solve:

5x + 80 = x + 8 ⇒ x = −18

Values: −18, −10, −2, 6, 14

✅ Final Answer: −10
