Fill the blanks Using
( 1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15)



You can also repeat the numbers


This Question came in UPSC final exam held in December 2013 in India





This question is not possible. o.o

Since all the numbers are odd. And there are five blanks.

The sum of two odd numbers is even.

ODD + ODD + ODD + ODD + ODD = 30
EVEN + EVEN + ODD = 30

EVEN + ODD = 30

The sum of Even and Odd is always Odd. 5+6=11. 2+3=5. Etc.

30 is even, and not an odd sum.

So not possible. :p
