The correct answer is: A1+A22G1G3

Let the two numbers are a, b

a,A1,A2,b are in AP.

b=a+4-1d

d=b-a3

A1=a+b-a3=2a+b3

A2=a+b-a3·2=a+2b3

Similarly a,G1,G2,G3,b are in GP.

b=ar5-1

r=ba14

G1=aba14

G2=aba24

G3=aba34

=G14+G24+G34+G12·G32

a4·ba+a4·b2a2+a4·b3a3+a4·b2a2

=ba3+b2a2+b3a+a2b2

=aba2+b2+2ab=aba+b2

A1+A22·G1G3=a+b2·ab

Hence this is the correct option.
