उत्तर
In the given problem, the sum of three terms of an A.P is 27 and the product of the three terms is 648. We need to find the three terms.
Here,
Let the three terms be (a - d), a, (a + d) where a is the first term and d is the common difference of the A.P
So,
(a - d) + a(a + d) = 27
3a = 27
a = 9 ......(1)
Also
(a - d)a(a + d) = a + 6
`a(a^2 - d^2) = 648` [Using `a^2 - b^2 = (a + b)(a - b)`]
`9(9^2 - d^2) = 648`
`81 - d^2 = 72`
Further solving for d
`81 - d^2 =72`
`81 - 72 = d62`
`81 - d^2 = 72`
Further solving for d
`81 - d^2 = 72`
`81 - 72 = d^2`
`d = sqrt9`
d = 3....(2)
Now, substituting (1) and (2) in three terms
First term = a - d
So, a - d = 9 - 3
= 6
Also
Second term = a
So,
a= 9
Also
Third term = a + d
So
a + d = 9 + 3
= 12
Therefore the three term are 6, 9 and 12
