Then,2b = a+c
Given,their sum = 15
So, a+b+c = 2b +b=15
3b = 15
b= 5 ; a+ c =10.
Also , Given that , a + 1 , b + 4 , c +19 are in gp
If three numbers x,y,z are in GP , then y^2 =xz
So,here
(b+4)^2 = (a + 1) (c + 19)
81 = ac + 19 + c + 19a
19a + c + ac = 62
19a + 10 -a + a(10 - a) =62
28a - a^2 = 52
a^2 -28a +52 = 0
a^2 - 26a -2a +52 = 0
a(a - 26) -2 (a - 26 ) =0
(a-2)(a-26) =0
a = 2 or 26
If a = 2 , b= 5 , c= 10 -2 =8
If a = 26 , b= 5 ,c = 10-26 = -16
So numbers are (2,5,8) ,(26,5,-16)
Hope this helps !
If u like my answer please mark mine as the brainliest one ! :D
cond: 1
a-d+a+a+d=15
3a=15
a=15/3
a=3
