[Hint : Remember, how we described a 2 × 2 grid of a calendar month in the Algebraic Expressions chapter].
Solution:
It can be shown as given below :

Other numbers are appearing in the form (m + 1) and (m - 1), (m + 2) and (m - 2), (m + 3) and (m - 3) and (m + 4) and (m - 4), making the magic sum 3m.
Question 2.
Once the generalised form is obtained, share your observations with the class. Class 7
Solution:
Do as directed.
Question 3.
Using this generalised form, find a magic square if the centre number is 25. Class 7
Solution:
