Last three of the four numbers are in A.P. and hence they may be chosen as a−d,a,a+d
Also the first number is same as the last one i.e. a+d.
Therefore the four numbers are a+d,a−d,a,a+d. The first three of the above four are in G.P.
∴(a−d)2=a(a+d). But d=6 given
∴(a−6)2=a(a+6)
or a2−12a+36=a2+6a
or 18a=36 ∴a=2.
Putting for a and d the four numbers are 8,−4,2,8, which satisfy the given conditions.
