Suppose four distinct positive numbers $a_1, a_2, a_3, a_4$ are in $G.P.$ Let $b_1=a_1, b_2=b_1+a_2, b_3=b_2+a_3$ and $b_4=b_3+a_4$.

$STATEMENT-1$ : The numbers $\mathrm{b}_1, \mathrm{~b}_2, \mathrm{~b}_3, \mathrm{~b}_4$ are neither in $A.P$. nor in $G.P.$ and 

$STATEMENT-2$ : The numbers $\mathrm{b}_1, \mathrm{~b}_2, \mathrm{~b}_3, \mathrm{~b}_4$ are in $H.P.$
