The difference between two numbers is $48$ and the difference between their arithmetic mean and geometric mean is $18$. The larger of the two numbers is:

Let three real numbers $a, b, c$ be in arithmetic progression and $a+1, b, c+3$ be in geometric progression. If $a > 10$ and the arithmetic mean of $a, b$ and $c$ is $8$,then the cube of the geometric mean of $a, b$ and $c$ is

Let $A_1, G_1, H_1$ denote the arithmetic,geometric,and harmonic means,respectively,of two distinct positive numbers $a$ and $b$. For $n \geq 2$,let $A_n, G_n, H_n$ be the arithmetic,geometric,and harmonic means of $A_{n-1}$ and $H_{n-1}$ respectively.

Give the answers for questions $1, 2,$ and $3.$

Let the first three terms $2, p$ and $q$,with $q \neq 2$,of a $G.P.$ be respectively the $7^{\text{th}}$,$8^{\text{th}}$ and $13^{\text{th}}$ terms of an $A.P.$ If the $5^{\text{th}}$ term of the $G.P.$ is the $n^{\text{th}}$ term of the $A.P.$,then $n$ is equal to

Let $a, b$ and $c$ be the $7^{th}, 11^{th}$ and $13^{th}$ terms respectively of a non-constant $A.P.$ If these are also the three consecutive terms of a $G.P.$,then $\frac{a}{c}$ is equal to

The geometric and harmonic means of two numbers $x_1$ and $x_2$ are $18$ and $16\frac{8}{13}$ respectively. The value of $|x_1 - x_2|$ is
