Let numbers be x1,x2,x3 and x4
We have x1 = 2

We are given,

x1 + x2 = 8
so, x2 = 8-2 = 6 

Then, x1 + x2 + x3 = 27
       so, x3 = 27 -8
             x3 = 19

We also have, x1+x2 + x3 + x4 = 60
          so, 27 + x4 = 60 
            so, x4 = 33

Hence, Numbers are 2,6,19 and 33

Answer:

The four numbers are 2, 6, 19, 33

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x_{1},x_{2},x_{3},x_{4}

According to the question

The mean of first  two numbers = 4

and one of the number is 2.

So, suppose x_{1} = 2

We know that

mean = \frac{sum\ of\ the\ observation}{total\ no.\ of\ observation}

4 = \frac{x_{1}\ +\ x_{2}}{2}

4 = \frac{2\ +\ x_{2}  }{2}       ∵ x_{1} = 2

8 = 2\ +\ x_{2}

8\ -\ 2 = x_{2}

x_{2} = 6

And the mean of first three numbers = 9

So,

9 = \frac{2\ +\ 6\ +\ x_{3}}{3}

27\ -\ 8 = x_{3}

x_{3} = 19

Now, the mean of all four numbers = 15

15 = \frac{2\ +\ 6\ +\ 19\ +\ x_{4} }{4}

60 = 27\ +\ x_{4}

60\ -\ 27 = x_{4}

x_{4} = 33

Hence the four numbers are 2, 6, 19, 33.
