    Solution

    ATQ, Let the eleventh number be 10x. So, the twelfth number = 1.25 ├Ч 10x = 12.5x. Thirteenth number = 850/9 ├Ч 1/100 ├Ч 12.5x = 17x/3. So, 10x + 12.5x + 17x/3 = 65 ├Ч 20 тАУ 8 ├Ч 75.5 тАУ 6 ├Ч 55.5 = 360. Or, 100x/3 = 360. Or, x = 10.8. So, the twelfth number = 12.5 ├Ч 10.8 = 135.
