Add the first and third values and subtract it from the second value which is (5+7) -4=8.
Similarly, now take a first and second value add it and then subtract it from the last value which is (6+9) -5=10.
Similarly, take the second and third values, add them and then subtract it from the first value (7+2) -3 =6.
Sequence looks like;
1 represents addition.
0 represents subtraction.
[1 0 1].
[1 1 0].
[0 1 1].

5+4+7 = 16 , half of 16 is 8.
6+9+5 = 20, half of 20 is 10.
3+7+2 = 12, half of 12 is 6.
6+9+5 = 20, half of 20 is 10.
3+7+2 = 12, half of 12 is 6.

Smallest number among square * 2 givesthe answer is also possible.
i.e 5 4 7, 4 *2 = 8 .
6 9 5then 5 * 2 = 10 therefore 3 7 2...2 * 2 = 4.
i.e 5 4 7, 4 *2 = 8 .
6 9 5then 5 * 2 = 10 therefore 3 7 2...2 * 2 = 4.

1) 5 4 7
Here 7 is the greatest number keep aside, add the rest (5+4)= 9 , the number in between 7 and 9 is 8.
2) 6 9 5
Similarly - 9 greatest keep aside add the rest (6+5) = 11, number in between 9 and 11 is 10,
3) Apply the same thing - 3 7 2
add the lowest number 3+2 = 5. Number between 5 and 7 is 6.
