उत्तर

\[\text { Let the three terms of the A . P . be }a - d, a, a + d . \]

\[\text { Then, we have }: \]

\[a - d + a + a + d = 21\]

\[ \Rightarrow 3a = 21\]

\[ \Rightarrow a = 7 . . . . (i)\]

\[\text { Also }, (a - d)(a + d) - a = 6\]

\[ \Rightarrow a^2 - d^2 - a = 6\]

\[ \Rightarrow 49 - d^2 - 7 = 6\]

\[ \Rightarrow 36 = d^2 \]

\[ \Rightarrow \pm 6 = d\]

\[\text { When } d = 6, a = 7, \text { we get} : \]

\[1, 7, 13\]

\[\text {  When } d = - 6, a = 7, \text{we get }: \]

\[13, 7, 1\]
