Looks like the BTG website was acting up, and your question was posted 3 times.
I just answered the question over here: https://www.beatthegmat.com/problem-on-n ... 69455.html

16k + 16(k+1) +16(k+2)+16(k+3)=2048+16(k+1)
Rearrange the equation:
16k +16k+32 +16k + 48=2048
48k=1968
k=41
The third number is 16(k+2) = 16(41+2)=688

Cheers
