Detailed Solution

Let the numbers be a,ar and  ar2 Then the 

number obtained by adding the middle number are

a+ar,2ar,ar+ar2 

Clearly, these numbers are neither in AP. nor in G.P. 

Now,

      12ar-1a+ar=a-ar2ar(a+ar)=1-r2ar(1+r)

and  1ar+ar2-12ar=ar-ar22arar+ar2=1-r2ar(1+r)

We have,

      12ar-1a+ar=1ar+ar2-12ar

So, a+ar,2ar,ar+ar2 are in H.P.
