Problem Statement

On a square board with 99 squares (three by three), nine elements of the set S={0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}S=\{0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9\} must be placed, different from each other, so that each one is in a box and the following conditions are met: \bullet The sums of the numbers in the second and third rows are, respectively, double and triple the sum of the numbers in the first row. \bullet The sum of the numbers in the second and third columns are, respectively, double and triple the sum of the numbers in the first column. Show all the possible ways to place elements of SS on the board, fulfilling the indicated conditions.
