\begin{aligned} & { }^{x+2} P_{x+2}=a \Rightarrow a=(x+2) ! \\ \\& { }^x P_{11}=b \Rightarrow b=\frac{x !}{(x-11) !} \end{aligned}

and  { }^{x-11} P_{x-11}=c \Rightarrow c=(x-11) !

\begin{array}{lc} \therefore & a=182 b c \\ \\& (x+2) !=182 \frac{x !}{(x-11) !}(x-11) ! \\ \\\Rightarrow & (x+2)(x+1)=182=14 \times 13 \\ \\\therefore & x+1=13 \\ \\\therefore & x=12 \end{array}
