Answered by admin @



Let the 3 nos be a , ar and ar²
given that the sum of no's is 70
there for a(1+r+r²) =70 ....................................................(i)

also given that 4a,5ar and 4ar² in AP
⇒2(5ar)=4a+4ar²
⇒5r=2+2r²
⇒2r²-5r+2=0

r=2 or 1/2

from(i) we get
a=10  at r=2
and a =40 at r=1/2

where a=10 and r=2 , the numbers are 10, 20, ,40

and when a=40 and r =1/2
the numbers are 40,20,10

hence the numbers are 10,20,40
