Solution

Let the 2 numbers be a,b

a,A1,A2,b are in A.P

a+b2=A1+A22a+b=A1+A2......(1)

a,G1,G2,b are in G.P

ab=G1G2ab=G1G2......(2)

a,H1,H2,b are in H.P

1a,1H1,1H2,1b are in A.P

1a+1b2=1H1+1H22

a+bab=H1+H2H1H2

From (1) and (2) we have,

A1+A2G1G2=H1+H2H1H2

G1G2H1H2=A1+A2H1+H2

Hence proved.
