उत्तर
In the given problem, the sum of three consecutive terms of an A.P is 51 and the product of the first and the third terms is 273.
We need to find the third term.
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) = 51
3a = 51
`a = 51/3`
a = 17
Also,
( a - d) ( a + d ) = 273
a2 - d2 = 273 [ Using a2 - d2 = (a + b ) (a - b)]
172 - d2 = 273
289 - d2 = 273
Further solving for d,
Now, it is given that this is an increasing A.P. so d cannot be negative.
So, d = 4
Substituting the values of a and d in the expression for the third term, we get,
Third term = a + d
So,
a + d = 17 + 4
= 21
Therefore, the third term is a3 = 21
