    Total sum of numbers is equal to 4950.
    This implies that the sum of numbers in each row should be equal to 990.

    group 1 = 1-9 and 90-99
    group 2 = 10-19 and 80-89
    group 3 = 20-29 and 70 to 79
    group 4 = 30-39 and 60-69
    group 5 = 40-59

    N*(N+1)/2 sum of n positive integers starting from 1.
    so each group sum should be N*(N+1)/2*5

    99*100/10 = 990
