Correct option is C
Let the last three numbers in A.P. be b, b + 6, b + 12 and the first number be a.Hence the four numbers are a, b, b + 6, b + 12Given, a=b+12 (1)and a, b, b + 6 are in G.P. i.e., b2 = a (b + 6)or b2 = (b + 12) (b + 6) (∴a = b + 12) or 18b = – 72 \ b = –4,From Eq. (1),a = – 4 + 12 = 8.Hence, the four numbers are 8, –4, 2 and 8.Similar Questions
