Let the set A=A={1,2,3,,48n+24 1,2,3, \dots ,48n+24 } , where nN n \in \mathbb {N^*} . Prove that there exist a subset BB of AA with 24n+1224n+12 elements with the property : the sum of the squares of the elements of the set BB is equal to the sum of the squares of the elements of the set AA \ BB .
