The product of three numbers in G.P. is 125 and the sum of their products taken in pairs is Find them.
Let the three numbers be
Since their product is 125
∴ a = 5
Since the sum of their products taken in pairs is
∴
When a = 5 and r = 2, numbers are or
When a = 5 and r = numbers are or 10, 5,
The sum of three numbers in G.P. is 21 and the sum of their squares is 189. Find the numbers.
