Problem Statement

The integers from 1 to 49 are written in a 7×77\times 7 table, such that for any k{1,2,,7}k\in\{1,2,\ldots,7\} the product of the numbers in the kk-th row equals the product of the numbers in the (8k)(8-k)-th row.
[*]Prove that there exists a row such that the sum of the numbers written on it is a prime number. [*]Give an example of such a table.
