This question is interesting, and use your brain till limit. I can tell.those numbers 1,20,40,60,80,100. The difference all must be approximately same, then this case will come. Because now in sequence if you increase the minimum difference, then difference other number will decrease,like if you write 21 in place of 20 then difference between 21 and 40.will be.19, this case will go on if you increase..
This is a good question.
