Three pouches are kept in each of the nine slots in a 3 × 3 grid (rows 1-3, columns 1-3). Every pouch has a certain number of one-rupee coins. The minimum and maximum amounts of money (in rupees) among the three pouches in each of the nine slots are given in the table. For example, we know that among the three pouches kept in the second column of the first row, the minimum amount in a pouch is Rs. 6 and the maximum amount is Rs. 8.
(min, max) | Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3
row 1 | (2, 4) | (6, 8) | (1, 3)
row 2 | (3, 5) | (1, 1) | (6, 20)
row 3 | (1, 2) | (1, 2) | (2, 5)
There are nine pouches in any of the three columns, as well as in any of the three rows. It is known that the average amount of money (in rupees) kept in the nine pouches in any column or in any row is an integer. It is also known that the total amount of money kept in the three pouches in the first column of the third row is Rs. 4.
