Answer:

D. 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's name the diagram

Row 1: a1, a2, a3

Row 2: b1, b2, b3

Row 3: c1, c2, c3

From the diagram,

b2 and c2 have been given

All rows, columns and diagonal must sum up to 18

If b2=6 and c2=4

a2=18-(6+4)

=18-10

=8

a2=8

Assume a1=4

Diagonals a1+b3+c3=18

4+6+c3=18

10+c3=18

c3=18-10

=8

Assume a3=6

Diagonals a3+b2+c1=18

6+6+c1=18

12+c1=18

c1=18-12

=6

So b1=18-(6+4)

=18-10

=8

b1=8

b3=18-(6+8)

=18-14

=4

b3=4

Input all the numbers into the boxes

We have,

4 8 6

8 6 4

6 4 8

Corner numbers are a1,a3,c1,c3

=4,6,6,8

Sum of all the corner numbers=4+6+6+8

=24
