    y1, ,y2, y3 can be in any thing except A.P. because if they will be in A.P. then all three point will be in straight line so the triangle will not be formed.

    in A.P. difference between any two consecutive terms are equal

    in G.P. ratio any two consecutive terms are equal

    H.P. is inverse of A.P.

    e.g. if x,y,z are in A.P.

    then y-x = z-y

    if x,y,z are in G.P.

    then y/x = z/y

    if x,y,z are in H.P

    then 1/x,1/y,1/z should be in A.P.
