उत्तर
Let the three consecutive terms in an A.P. be a – d, a, and a + d.
According to the first condition,
sum of three consecutive terms is 27.
a – d + a + a + d = 27
∴ 3a = 27
∴ a = `27/3`
∴ a = 9 ..........(i)
According to the second condition,
the product of the three numbers is 504.
(a – d) a (a + d) = 504
∴ a(a2 – d2) = 504
∴ 9(92 – d2) = 504 ........[From(i)]
∴ 81 – d2 = `504/9`
∴ 81 – d2 = 56
∴ d2 = 81 – 56
∴ d2 = 25
Taking square root of both sides, we get
d = ±5
When d = 5 and a = 9,
a – d = 9 – 5 = 4
a = 9
a + d = 9 + 5 = 14
When d = – 5 and a = 9,
a – d = 9 – (– 5) = 9 + 5 = 14
a = 9
a + d = 9 – 5 = 4
∴ The three consecutive terms are 4, 9 and 14 or 14, 9 and 4.

Activity :- Here, a = 12, d = `square`, n = 100, S100 = ?
Sn = `"n"/2 [square + ("n" - 1)"d"]`
S100 = `square/2 [24 + (100 - 1)"d"]`
= `50(24 + square)`
= `square`
= `square`
Find the sum of natural numbers between 1 to 140, which are divisible by 4.
Activity: Natural numbers between 1 to 140 divisible by 4 are, 4, 8, 12, 16,......, 136
Here d = 4, therefore this sequence is an A.P.
a = 4, d = 4, tn = 136, Sn = ?
tn = a + (n – 1)d
`square` = 4 + (n – 1) × 4
`square` = (n – 1) × 4
n = `square`
Now,
Sn = `"n"/2["a" + "t"_"n"]`
Sn = 17 × `square`
Sn = `square`
Therefore, the sum of natural numbers between 1 to 140, which are divisible by 4 is `square`.
