Answer / guest

The numbers on the extreme right represent the sum of the
values represented by the characters in that row. Also, the
numbers on the last raw represent the sum of the values
represented by the characters in that column. e.g. B + R + A
+ I + N = 31 (from first row)

B=7, R=6, A=4, I=5 and N=9

Make total 10 equations - 5 for rows and 5 for columns - and
sovle them.

From Row3 and Row4,

N + I + A + B + B = N + I + B + A + I + 2

B = I + 2

From Row1 and Row3,

B + R + A + I + N = N + I + A + B + B - 1

R = B - 1

From Column2,

R + B + I + I + R = 29

B + 2R + 2I = 29

B + 2(B - 1) + 2I = 29

3B + 2I = 31

3(I + 2) + 2I = 31

5I = 25

I = 5

Hence, B=7 and R=6

From Row2,

B + B + R + B + A = 31

3B + R + A = 31

3(7) + 6 + A = 31

A = 4

From Row1,

B + R + A + I + N = 31

7 + 6 + 4 + 5 + N = 31

N = 9

Thus, B=7, R=6, A=4, I=5 and N=9

Ali Baba had four sons, to whom he bequeathed his 39 camels, with the proviso that the legacy be divided in the following way : The oldest son was to receive one half the property, the next a quarter, the third an eighth and the youngest one tenth. The four brothers were at a loss as how to divide the inheritance among themselves without cutting up a camel, until a stranger appeared upon the scene. Dismounting from his camel, he asked if he might help, for he knew just what to do. The brothers gratefully accepted his offer. Adding his own camel to Ali Baba's 39, he divided the 40 as per the will. The oldest son received 20, the next 10, the third 5 and the youngest 4. One camel remained : this was his, which he mounted and rode away. Scratching their heads in amazement, they started calculating. The oldest thought : is not 20 greater than the half of 39? Someone must have received less than his proper share ! But each brother discovered that he had received more than his due. How is it possible?
