If we consider the third term to be ‘x”
The 15th term will be (x + 12d)
6th term will be (x + 3d)
11th term will be (x + 8d) and 13th term will be (x + 10d)
Thus, as per the given condition, 2x + 12d = 3x + 21d.
Or x + 9d = 0
x + 9d will be the 12th term.

Since x, y ,and z are in G.P. and x<y<z, let x = a, y=ar and z=ar2, where a>0 and r>1.
It is also given that, 15x, 16y and 12z are in A.P.
Therefore, 2×16y=5x+12z
Substituting the values of x, y and z we get,
32ar = 5a +12ar2
On solving the above quadratic equation we get r=1/6 or 5/2.
Since r>1, therefore r=5/2.
