Solution

Dear student


Given:1) a,b,c are in G.Pi.e b2=ac ...(1)2) 4a,5b,4c are in A.Pi.e 10b=4a+4c5b=2(a+c) .....(2)3) a+b+c=70 5b2+b=705b+2b2=707b=140b=20 ....(3)Put the value of b=20 in (2), we get5(20)=2(a+c)a+c=50a=50-cPut the value of a and b in (1), we get202=(50-c)c400=50c-c2c2-50c+400=0(c-10)(c-40)=0c=10 and c=40When c=10, then a=40 When c=40, then a=10Case 1) When a=10,b=20 and c=40a3+b3+c3=103+203+403=1000+8000+64000=73000Case 2) When a=40,b=20 and c=10a3+b3+c3=403+203+103=64000+8000+1000=73000
