\[\text{ The first and the last numbers are equal } . \]
\[\text{ Let the four given numbers be p, q, r and p } . \]
\[\text{ The first three of four given numbers are in G . P } . \]
\[ \therefore q^2 = p \cdot r . . . . . . . . \left( i \right)\]
\[\text{ And, the last three numbers are in A . P . with common difference 6 } . \]
\[\text{ We have }: \]
\[\text{ First term } = q\]
\[\text{ Second term } = r = q + 6\]
\[\text{ Third term } = p = q + 12\]
\[\text{ Also }, 2r = q + p\]
\[\text{ Now, putting the values of p and r in } \left( i \right): \]
\[ q^2 = \left( q + 12 \right)\left( q + 6 \right)\]
\[ \Rightarrow q^2 = q^2 + 18q + 72\]
\[ \Rightarrow 18q + 72 = 0\]
\[ \Rightarrow q + 4 = 0\]
\[ \Rightarrow q = - 4\]
\[\text{ Now, putting the value of q in } p = q + 12: \]
\[p = - 4 + 12 = 8\]
