It is a problem of invariance
let a,b be two adjacent elements
after carrying out the operation they become
a+1,b+1
now, there are three sectors in the whole circle .
hence if we consider a and b as a part of one sector .
we get the summation of difference between the two elements of each subset=
a+1-b+1+..=a-b+...=unchanged
if we consider a and b part of different sectors
we get still
x-(a+1)+b+1-y+...=a-b+...=unchanged
when all the elements will be equal then the sum will be =0+0+0=0
but initial sum=1-0+1-0+0-0=2
but it should be invariant
..
hence CONTRADICTION ..
