Let the three-digit number be xyz. According to given condition, we have
y2=xz…………..(1)
2(y+2)=x+z…..(2)
100x+10y+z792=100z+10y+x
 xz=8……(3)
Squaring (2) and (3), and subtracting, we have
4xz=4(y+2)264……….(4)
y2=(y+2)216  [Using(1)] 
 y=3
x+z=10  [Using(2)] 
 x=9,z=1
Hence, the number is 931 =72 x 19.
