उत्तर
Let the required terms be (a-d) , a and ( a+d)
Then (a-d) + a+ (a+d) = 21
⇒ 3a = 21
⇒ a =7
Also , `(a - d)^2 + a^2 + (a + d)^2 = 165`
⇒ `3a^2 + 2d^2 = 165 `
⇒ `(3 xx 49 +2d^2) = 165`
⇒`2d^2 = 165 - 147 = 18`
⇒`d^2 = 9`
⇒ `d = +- 3`
Thus ,`a = 7 and d = +- 3`
Hence, the required terms are (4,7,10) or (10,7,4).

A small terrace at a football field comprises 15 steps, each of which is 50 m long and built of solid concrete. Each step has a rise of `1/4` m and a tread of `1/2` m (See figure). Calculate the total volume of concrete required to build the terrace.
[Hint: Volume of concrete required to build the first step = `1/4 xx 1/2 xx 50 m^3`]
