उत्तर

\[\text { Let the four numbers be }a - 3d, a - d, a + d, a + 3d . \]

\[\text { Sum } = 50\]

\[ \Rightarrow a - 3d + a - d + a + d + a + 3d = 50\]

\[ \Rightarrow 4a = 50\]

\[ \Rightarrow a = \frac{25}{2} . . . (i)\]

\[\text { Also }, a + 3d = 4(a - 3d)\]

\[ \Rightarrow a + 3d = 4a - 12d\]

\[ \Rightarrow 3a = 15d\]

\[ \Rightarrow a = 5d\]

\[ \Rightarrow \frac{25}{2 \times 5} = d \left( \text { Using } (i) \right)\]

\[ \Rightarrow \frac{5}{2} = d\]

\[\text { So, the terms are as follows: } \]

\[ \left( \frac{25}{2} - 3 \times \frac{5}{2} \right), \left( \frac{25}{2} - \frac{5}{2} \right), \left( \frac{25}{2} + \frac{5}{2} \right), \left( \frac{25}{2} + 3 \times \frac{5}{2} \right)\]

\[ = 5, 10, 15, 20\]
