Let the required numbers be a and b.
Given, 14 is the mean proportional between a and b.
\[\begin{array}{*{35}{l}}
a:\text{ }14\text{ }=\text{ }14:\text{ }b \\
ab\text{ }=\text{ }196 \\
a\text{ }=\text{ }196/b\text{ }\ldots .\text{ }\left( 1 \right) \\
\end{array}\]
Also, given, third proportional to a and b is 112.
\[\begin{array}{*{35}{l}}
a:\text{ }b\text{ }=\text{ }b:\text{ }112 \\
{{b}^{2}}~=\text{ }112a\text{ }\ldots .\text{ }\left( 2 \right) \\
\end{array}\]
Using (1), we have:
\[\begin{array}{*{35}{l}}
{{b}^{2}}~=\text{ }112\text{ }\times \text{ }\left( 196/b \right) \\
{{b}^{3}}~=\text{ }{{14}^{3}}~x\text{ }{{2}^{3}} \\
b\text{ }=\text{ }28 \\
\end{array}\]
From (1),
a = 196/ 28 = 7
Therefore, the two numbers are 7 and 28.
