Step-by-step explanation:
let the numbers be
1k,2k,3k
after adding 2,4,11 the numbers are in G.P
1k+2,2k+4,3k+11
if a,b,c are in G.P then b²=ac
(2k+4)²=(k+2)(3k+11)
4k²+16+16k=3k²+11k+6k+22
4k²+16k+16=3k²+17k+22
k²+16k+16=17k+22
k²+16k-17k-22+16=0
k²-k-6=0
(k-3)(k+2)
k=3,-2
the numbers can either be 1,6,9
or it can be -2,-4,-6
adding 2,4,11 to the numbers we get
1,6,9 on adding 2,4,11 gives a G.P hence the
numbers are 1,6,9
