Answer:
The numbers are: 8,12,18 or 18,12,8.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let, the three numbers be=a,b,c
As they are in continued propation=b²=ac.
mean is 12
=b=12
so, 12²=ac
144=ac
c=144/a
Sum of two numbers is
a+c = 26
a + 144/a =26
Solving,
a²+ 144–26a=0
a²-18a-8a+144=0
a (a-18) –8(a-18)=0
(a-18) (a-8)=0
a=18 or a=8
The numbers are 8,12,18 or 18,12,8.
