All the numbers supplied are ODD.
The sum of three odd numbers will surely be odd -
whether or not they are repeated!
So what is the solution anyway???
It is assumed that ZERO can't used
nor any negative integer! Right???

Entering forum after a break!
There is no way to have ONLY three numbers because all the numbers are odd
and three of them will NEVER give 30 as total! :nono:
I thought of 15 + 13 + (11 - 9) and many other combinations with one minus symbol.
Eg:
15 + 11 + (9 - 5)
15 + 9 + (7 - 1)
15 + 7 + (13 - 5)
15 + 5 + (11 - 1)
and so on...................
But............. Google search gave the BEST answer using all the numbers!
15 + 13 + (11-9)/(7-5)*(3-1) = 30
WOW! Brilliant !! :clap2:
See how many answers are possible with those numbers!
But, the cutest I like is this one:
(15 - 5) + (13 - 3) + (11 - 1)
Why so much in love with number 13??There is no restriction provided on the use of mathematical symbols and their functions. So a probable answer could be:
[13-1] + [13-1] + [13-7] = 30

They are broad minded, what else! :thumb:Nobody is answering my main question, which is :
Why should WE (tambrahms) be glad that only Gaurav Agarwal (IAS topper) only could solve it..?
:lol: So, you too missed the earlier thread in which some had answered! :ranger:If Zee"s formulae is the best solution, many more of us could also solve this problem in the same way. Anyway kodos to Mr.Zee.

Why is PJ Sir (the original thread poster/master) missing in action?
