Let the last three numbers in AP, be `a,a+6,a+12` .
`" " " " [:." 6 is the common difference "]`
If first number is b, then four numbes are
`b,a,a+6,a+12`
But given, `b=a+12`
`:.` Four numbers are `a+12,a,a+6,a+12" " ".....(i)"`
Since, first three numbers are in GP.
Then, `a^(2)=(a+12)(a+6)`
`implies a^(2)=a^(2)+18a+72`
`implies 18a+71=0`
`:. " " a=-4 " " [" from Eq.(i) "]`
Hence, four numbers are `8,-4,2,8` .
