Fourth part: 14
Third part: 14 - 4 = 10
Second part: 10 - 4 = 6
First part: 6 - 4 = 2
14 + 10 = 24 [6 + 2 = 8 ]
8 * 3 = 24
24 + 8 =

Solution :
Let the four pats of the line segment be
a-3d,a-d,a+d,a+3d
according to the question
(a+d+a+3d) = 3(a-3d+a-d)
2a+4d= 3(2a-4d)
2(a+2d) = 6(a-2d)
a+2d=3a-6d
2d+6d=3a-a
2a = 8d
a = 4d
a+3d = 14
4d+3d = 14
7d = 14
d = 2
a = 4d
a = 4×2
a = 8
length of the line segment
a-3d+a-d+a+d+a+3d
= 4a
= 4×8
= 32 cm
Hence , length of the line segment is 32 cm
