Fill up the empty cells of the square below such that the numbers in each row and column from arithmetic sequences:
What if we use other numbers instead of 1, 4 28 and 7?

For 1st row,
a = 1 a4 = 4
a4 = a + 3d
∴ d = 1
a2 = 1 + 1 = 2
∴ A12 = 2
a3 = 2 + 1 = 3
∴ A13 = 3
For 1st column,
a = 1 a4 = 7
a4 = a + 3d
∴ d = 2
a2 = 1 + 2 = 3
∴ A21 = 3
a3 = 3 + 2 = 5
∴ A31 = 5
For 4th row,
a = 7 a4 = 28
a4 = a + 3d
∴ d = 7
a2 = 7 + 7 = 14
∴ A42 = 14
a3 = 14 + 7 = 21
∴ A43 = 21
For 4th column,
a = 4 a4 = 28
a4 = a + 3d
∴ d = 8
a2 = 4 + 8 = 12 ∴ A24 = 12
a3 = 12 + 8 = 20 ∴ A34 = 20
For 2nd row,
a = 3 a4 = 12
a4 = a + 3d
∴ d = 3
a2 = 3 + 3 = 6 ∴ A42 = 6
a3 = 6 + 3 = 9 ∴A23 = 9
For 3rd row,
a = 5 a4 = 20
a4 = a + 3d
∴ d = 5
a2 = 5 + 5 = 10
∴ A32 = 10
a3 = 10 + 5 = 15
∴ A33 = 15
If we use numbers other than 1,4,7,and 28 it is not guaranteed that the grid will be completely filled such that each row and column is in AP.
