Does there exist a geometric progression containing $$27, 8$$ and $$12$$ as three of its terms? If it exits, how many such progressions are possible ?

If $$x,\,y$$ and $$z$$ are $$pth$$, $$qth$$ and $$rth$$ terms respectively of an A.P. and also of a G.P., then $${x^{y - z}}\,{y^{z - x}}\,{z^{x - y}}$$ is equal to :
