## Try with Hints

Given condition is “The numbers from $1$ to $8$ are placed at the vertices of a cube in such a manner that the sum of the four numbers on each face is the same”.so we may say that if we think there is a number on the vertex then it will be counted in different faces also.

can you finish the problem……..

Therefore we have to count the numbers $3$ times so the total sum will be $3(1+2+….+8)$=$108$

can you finish the problem……..

Now there are $6$ faces in a Cube…..so the common sum will be $\frac{108}{6}$=$18$
