Answer:
The three numbers are 4, 6 and 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the numbers be a , b , c
a * b = 24 ⇒ a = 24/b
b * c = 48 ⇒ b = 48/c
c * a = 32 ⇒ a = 32/c
24/b = 32/c
24 c = 32 b
3 c = 4 b
3 c = 4 * 48/c
c² = 4 * 16
c = 2 * 4 = 8
∴a = 32/c = 32/8 = 4
∴b = 48/c = 48/8 = 6

Answer:
a= 4, b=6, c=8
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the numbers be a, b, c
ATQ
ab=24
bc=48
ac=32
b=24/a —(I)
Substituting (I) in bc= 48
24c/a = 48
c/a = 2
c = 2a — (II)
Substituting (II) in ac=32
2a² = 32
a² = 16
a=+4 or -4
But it cannot be -4 because numbers are positive
.•. a=4
c=2a
c= 8
b= 24/a
b= 6
