1. C
2. A
3. C
Explanation:-

A+B+C=13
C+D+E=13
E+F+G=13
G+H+1=13
A+B+C+D+E+F+G+H+I=45 (Thats sum of all digits)
So C+E+G=52-45=7
So C,E,G can be only in (1,2,4)
Now C+D+E=13
so C and E will be (1,4) or (2,4)
D can take (7,8)
So answer is 4 thats C for question 1.

So sum of C and E is either 5 or 6.

Now E+F+G=13
If E=4,F+G=9
So G can be (1,3,6,7,8) if C=2
and G can be (2,3,6,7,8) if C=1

So sum is maching with C=1,E=4 and G=2 that comes C+E+G=7
C=2,E=4 and G=1 that comes C+E+G=7
So answer is 7

Now C,E,G is fixed.
so B,H can take any value (3,5,6,9)

So the answer is 4.

I applied hit and trial method that can prove disastrous in cat
(1 3 9 will always form a group as pairing of 9 with any other no is nt possible, also c e g can nt be 9 and 8… )

The answer is,
e=4;
c+e+g=7;
Becoz,
a+b+c=c+d+e=e+f+g=g+h+i=13;
9+3+1=1+8+4=4+7+2=2+5+6;
therefore,e=4;c+e+g=7;
that’s all.
