four numbers are in A P the sum of extremesis10 and the product of means is 24 find the numbers About the author Harper
As the number are even so consider them as (common difference 2d) a−3d,a−d,a+d,a+3d According to problem S 4 =4a=24⇒a=6 Again (a−d)(a+d) (a−3d)(a+3d) = 15 7 ∴d=± 2 3 Hence required A.P is 2 3 , 2 9 , 2 15 , 2 21 Reply
