Let the four numbers in A.P. be as follows:

\[a - 2d, a - d, a, a + d\]

Their sum = 50 (Given)

\[\Rightarrow \left( a - 2d \right) + \left( a - d \right) + a + \left( a + d \right) = 50\]

\[ \Rightarrow 2a - d = 25 . . . . . \left( 1 \right)\]

\[\text { Also }, \left( a + d \right) = 4\left( a - 2d \right)\]

\[ \Rightarrow a + d = 4a - 8d\]

\[ \Rightarrow 3d = a . . . . . . \left( 2 \right)\]

From equations \[\left( 1 \right) \text { and }\left( 2 \right),\] ,  we get:
d  = 5, a = 15
Hence, the numbers are

\[15 - 10, 15 - 5, 15, 15 + 5\], i.e. 5, 10, 15, 20.
