Question 1135721
<br>
If the sum of 4 numbers in AP is 50, then the sum of the first and last is 25, and the sum of the 2nd and 3rd is 25.<br>
We are told that the largest number is 4 times the smallest, so call them a and 4a.<br>
Then we know a+4a = 5a = 25; so a=5.<br>
Then the largest and smallest numbers are a=5 and 4a=20.<br>
The difference of 15 between the largest and smallest of the 4 numbers is 3 times the common difference, so the common difference is 5.  That makes the other two numbers 10 and 15.<br>
So the 4 numbers are 5, 10, 15, and 20.<br>
Note we don't know what the actual AP is; it could be either<br>
5, 10, 15, 20<br>
or<br>
20,15,10,5<br>
