The six digit number

1_ _ _ _ 8


We have given that middle number is square number and exactly halfway between two


We use hit and trial method

Case -1

Middle no. = 4

Other number can be 3 or 5

Or other number can be 1 and 6




Case 2

Middle no. = 9

Other number can be 8 and 10

7, 11

6,12

5,13

4,14

3,15

2,16

1,17



Case 3

Middle no. = 16

Other number can be 15and 17

14,18

13,19

12,20

11,21

10,22 these are not possible


9, 23

8,24

7,25

6,26

5,27

4,28

3,28

2,30

1,31 these are possible


Case 4

Middle no. = 25

Other number can be 24 and 26

...

....


Possible are

9,41

..

..

1,49


Similarly further

These cases are not possible , as we have to 4 vacant places with given condition


So only case 1 is possible


the number can be

130458

or 110468

so the answer is 04 middle number of the code .
